At Equally Different, we support autistic individuals and their families in finding what truly fits them—in school, in their communities, and in life. We know that autism isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s okay. We provide practical support, resource-sharing, and financial assistance—like scholarships for therapeutic or recreational programs—so families can keep trying until they find the right fit. Whether it’s IEP support, navigating state services, exploring adaptive sports, or simply connecting with other parents who “get it,” we’re here to walk alongside families with compassion and real-world help.

We’re proud to be a charity partner in the Flutie 5K because the Flutie Foundation shares our belief that autistic individuals deserve the chance to thrive their way. This event celebrates inclusion, possibility, and community—all values at the core of our work.  Your donation helps us provide families with practical support and resources that make a real difference—from financial help for specialized programs, to information that empowers them to advocate and explore new options. Every dollar raised helps another family take one more step toward finding what works for them. We’re excited to run (and walk!) with other families, self-advocates, and organizations who believe in expanding opportunities for neurodiverse people. It’s a chance to raise awareness, build connections, and have fun—all while making a difference. Visit us at www.equallydifferentautism.org and on Facebook and Instagram to see how we’re building a world where everyone—no matter how they’re wired—can find their place and thrive.
