    Website: https://www.centralgaautism.org/

    About: Central Georgia Autism began as a grassroots effort, with a small group of parents and providers coming together to address the lack of resources and support for families of newly diagnosed children on the autism spectrum. They created opportunities for connection and learning through parent meetings, educational speakers, and childcare support, and soon launched a scholarship program to help families manage out-of-pocket expenses.  Today, the organization has grown to offer a variety of community events for children, families, and adults, while remaining dedicated to fostering acceptance, celebration, and safety for the neurodiverse community. Looking ahead, Central Georgia Autism aims to expand its impact by developing more programs for adults on the spectrum and reaching even more families in need.
