WHO IS AUTISM EVERYWHERE?
One in 31 children and one in 45 adults in the United States are autistic — and yet, inclusive and accessible community spaces remain limited.
Autism Everywhere is a family-run nonprofit founded in Hernando County, Florida in 2025. We are dedicated to advocacy and creating meaningful social opportunities for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.
Our mission is to create inclusive spaces where individuals with autism are welcomed, supported, and celebrated. Through sensory-friendly gatherings, creative programs, and community partnerships, we create opportunities for connection, joy, and belonging. Every event we host is designed with intention — to reduce isolation, strengthen family bonds, and increase public understanding of autism and neurodiversity.
Our greatest inspiration is our Artistic Director, Ariel Courtney. Ariel dreams of building a true community of friendship and acceptance—one where individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities are not just included, but embraced, celebrated, and welcomed as friends. Her passion for art and connection is the heartbeat of Autism Everywhere. Through her creativity and leadership, we are reminded that belonging should never be a privilege—it should be a given.
With your support, Autism Everywhere can continue making a real and lasting difference in the lives of individuals with autism and their families — right here in our community!
Special Thanks to The Artmaking Space for sponsoring our events and providing our meeting space!
Autism Everywhere hosts welcoming experiences for individuals age 14 and older with autism, their families, and their friends—while also embracing all individuals with developmental disabilities who wish to be part of our community.
Each gathering is intentionally designed to be inclusive, safe, and enjoyable, with a warm atmosphere and small group sizes to encourage real connection and friendship. By keeping events limited in capacity, we create a space where everyone is seen, supported, and included.
We would love to have you join us at an upcoming event!
Most events require a quick registration through our website or a reservation via Facebook message—just reach out, and we’ll get you connected.
