Building Bridges, Celebrating Strengths

Bridge2Autism Community is more than a nonprofit—it’s a movement to create a neurodiverse world where autistic individuals thrive. Founded in Tennessee, our 501(c)(3) organization is rooted in faith, driven by compassion, and committed to actionable change. We focus on advocacy, education, community outreach, and emergency preparedness, ensuring autistic individuals and their families are seen, heard, and supported.

Our Vision for the Future:

We dream of a Bridge2Autism Ranch—a Tennessee haven where autistic individuals engage with therapy animals, attend summer camps, and explore game rooms, art studios, gardening, and cooking classes. This neuroaffirming hub will foster emotional growth, social skills, and independence, serving first responders, females and males aged 11–54, and underserved communities. Join us to make this vision a reality.

Our Story

In 2018, a group of Tennessee parents, educators, and faith leaders saw a gap in autism support—especially for underserved groups like females, rural families, and non-English speakers. Inspired by personal stories of resilience, we launched Bridge2Autism to provide inclusive programs and crisis-ready tools. Today, we partner with GoNeuroPlay (@goneuroplay) to deliver innovative, neuroaffirming games that empower autistic individuals and train first responders.
