Meet Caitlin
Caitlin is the mother of a four-year-old autistic child and is autistic herself. She attends two AutismBC Meets groups: one for parents and one for autistic adults. It gives her a place to relate to others in a way she never could before.
“I feel incredibly validated, I feel seen, I’m able to learn how to take off the masks I’ve taught myself to wear my whole life and be authentically myself.”
Meet Teresa
Teresa is the mother of a ten-year-old autistic child. When her kid was diagnosed in the middle of the pandemic, Teresa was feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and isolated. AutismBC Meets provided a lifeline to the knowledge and empathy of other parents.
“It takes a village to raise a child and AutismBC Meets are like connecting to your modern village.”
“Donating to Autism BC Meets gives caregivers a refuge to repair, gather our thoughts, make plans, share a wealth of knowledge, and find a moment to feel understood.”
“When people donate it benefits not just the caregivers, but their families. When you lift one person up, you lift everyone up. And that makes the world a better place.”
“By donating, you’re helping break down barriers. You are helping autistic people find self-acceptance, and you’re helping parents find the resources they need.”
“By donating to AutismBC Meets, you’re helping whole families. We can all rise together by building a stronger, healthier community for generations to come.”
