Friendship doesn’t mean everyone is the same. It means we care about each other’s differences.

Carl and his friends know that the best friendships make space for everyone, whether someone needs quiet, loves sharing their favorite collections, or just wants a buddy to sit beside.

When Carl or any of his friends are feeling down, they help each other feel better by going on a bike ride together.

When we understand and support each other, friendship grows stronger. 💛

That’s what the Autism Society of America is all about, helping create communities where Autistic people belong.

Approximately 600,000 Hoosiers utilize SNAP benefits, and at this time, Indiana has not announced any plans to fund SNAP using state funds in the interim.

Autism Society of Indiana in partnership with Delta Air Lines, and Indianapolis International Airport is happy to bring Soaring For Autism back after 2 years!

Soaring for Autism is a unique experience for individuals of all ages with autism. We know that traveling can be difficult for some children and adults with autism. We also know that preparation is the key to helping make the travel experience easier. Participants with autism and their companion (parents, caregivers, friends, siblings) will experience the steps most people take when coming to the airport.

This event will happen June 11, 2022, to register: https://autismsocietyofindiana.salsalabs.org/SoaringforAutismSummer2022/index.html?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=42cc38ea-2dbf-4ecd-984c-e10cc16b2be5
