Coffee & Connections may be taking a little pause for Easter this week… but learning at ACN never stops 💜

If you (or a student in your life) are looking for a meaningful way to grow this summer, our Summer Internship Opportunities are a powerful next step. Interns work directly with autistic youth, build real-world skills, and learn alongside clinicians, educators, and community leaders.

From WE:PLAY to WE:CODE to WE:ACT (and even WE:GO overnight camp!), this is hands-on experience that builds:
✨ Communication
✨ Regulation
✨ Social connection
✨ Confidence and leadership

Whether you're exploring a future career or just want to make a difference, there’s a place for you here.

⏰ Just 1 day to go! ⏰

Tomorrow, we have the absolute honor of hosting Vikram Jaswal, PhD for Coffee & Connections—and this is one you do not want to miss.

Dr. Jaswal’s work is changing the conversation around nonspeaking autism, challenging assumptions and helping all of us better understand what it truly means to listen, connect, and presume competence.

If you’re a caregiver, educator, or professional, this session will shift how you think—and how you show up.

Join us tomorrow!

✨ Honoring advocacy. Celebrating action. ✨

We are so proud to introduce the ACN Ally Award—recognizing the incredible individuals in our community who go above and beyond to support, include, and uplift neurodivergent children, youth, and families.

Allies don’t just believe in inclusion—they show up, speak up, and take action.

Do you know someone who leads with compassion, promotes access, and makes a real difference? Nominate them and help us celebrate the people creating more affirming, inclusive spaces every day.

🏆 Winners will be announced on social media and honored at our annual Summit, where the Ally of the Year will also be recognized.

⏳ Just 2 days to go! ⏳

We are counting down to an incredible Coffee & Connections with Vikram Jaswal, PhD—a nationally recognized leader whose work is reshaping how we understand communication in nonspeaking autistic individuals.

This is the kind of session that sticks with you—the kind that challenges assumptions and changes how we show up for the people we serve.

Don’t miss it.

Happy Birthday, Anna Paola! 💙

We are missing you so much right now—but our hearts are so full knowing you’re spending this special season with your beautiful new baby girl. What an incredible birthday this must be.

Anna Paola is such a gift to ACN and to every family she serves. As our LCSW, she brings the perfect balance of warmth and practicality—always holding space for individual families while keeping a thoughtful eye on how we can best support our entire community. She’s bright, witty, deeply compassionate, and truly an integral part of our herd.

We hope your day is filled with joy, rest (as much as possible!), and sweet moments with your little one. We can’t wait to have you back—but for now, we’re celebrating you and this beautiful new chapter. 💕

We are beyond excited to welcome Vikram Jaswal, PhD to Coffee & Connections—this is truly a can’t-miss session.

Dr. Jaswal is a nationally recognized leader in autism research, and his work is transforming how we understand communication in nonspeaking autistic individuals. This conversation will challenge assumptions, center lived experiences, and expand how we think about connection, competence, and being heard.

If you care about creating more inclusive, affirming spaces for autistic individuals and their families, you want to be in this room (virtual room, that is 😉).

A very happy belated birthday to our wonderful Noey! 🎉

If you know Noey, you know her warmth is real—she shows up every day with a full heart, and it makes such a difference for our team and the families we serve.

From the joy and connection she brings to FAMJAM, to the care and precision she puts into her work as our Billing Specialist, Noey does everything with kindness and intention. She makes people feel comfortable, welcomed, and valued—and that’s not something you can teach.

And of course, we would be remiss not to mention her incredible baking and cooking skills (we’re always ready to taste test! 😉).

We’re so grateful for you, Noey. We hope your birthday was filled with love—and that this next year brings you just as much joy as you give to everyone around you 💙
