HERO

The Autism Hero Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that exists to break down barriers that prevent autistic individuals from reaching their full potential. We believe in a world where acceptance isn't just an idea—it's a practice, woven into schools, workplaces, and communities. We champion autism inclusion through direct action and systemic change. Our work focuses on four key pillars: Access to Care: We sponsor medical insurance for autistic children to ensure they can receive essential therapies, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), that support their growth and independence. Empowering Futures: We offer education scholarships to autistic teens and adults, helping them develop skills, pursue meaningful employment, and build empowered lives. Training First Responders: We provide autism and crisis training to first responders to create safer, more informed interactions and improve public safety for the autism community. Building Inclusive Communities: From sensory-friendly events to advocacy campaigns, we create spaces and experiences where autistic individuals and their families feel seen, supported, and celebrated. At AHP, we don’t just advocate for change—we create it. Together, we are building a future where neurodiversity is recognized as a strength, and every autistic person is supported, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive.
