Free. No ads. No data selling. Ever.

Two paths. Same destination.

Every autism family in the US ends up in the same place: isolated.

Your kid is in a specialized school

There are other families just like yours in that building every single day. But HIPAA and privacy walls mean you'll never know who they are. You sit in the same parking lot and drive home alone.

Your kid is NOT in a specialized school

You're the only autism family you know. Your child's classmates don't share their world. The birthday party invites slow down. You Google "autism support groups near me" and find a Facebook group from 2019.

Both paths end in isolation. tism is the door between families.

Why tism exists

There are two scenarios for every autism family in the US: either your kid is in a specialized school and HIPAA keeps you walled off from the other families, or your kid is NOT in a specialized school and you're completely alone.

Both paths end in isolation -- for the parents AND their children. There is zero centralization for this community. None.

tism doesn't fix anything. There is nothing to fix. It gives space to the ones we love to be themselves -- and makes sure they don't have to do it alone.
