About Us

Autism Community Alliance is a Washington DC metro area nonprofit that was founded by parents of young adults with autism who are passionate about offering families specialized post secondary options for the neurodivergent population who needs more supports to help them thrive and expand their interests.  We are unique in that we take into account each individuals sensory needs and adjust, pivot the activities as needed to accommodate everyone.  Community engagement is integral to our mission and our group is out in the community every day.  The days activities are shared with campers and their families in advance to help them prepare.  Families are encouraged to share advice and suggestions on activities or locations to visit!  Every day is full of laughter and we pride ourselves on practicing “enjoying the process” even if our art project or cooking activity doesn’t turn out perfect!
