Autism Everyone

We have a passion and compassion for children with Autism and their families. Autism Evansville provides programs and support such as: A monthly Parent/Caregiver Support Group (to bring parents together for community and education); a quarterly Family Fun Night (a recreation program for ASD children and their siblings); a Community Awareness program (to spread autism awareness to teachers, students, and members of the community to help them better understand the unique needs and differences of ASD children).

3.23.26. BOARD MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:
Kathleen, Rob and Jake Lapekas are big supporters of Autism Everyone!
Jake is an amazing young man, now age 26, who has shown many folks how beautiful Autism can be.
Jake has an amazing smile, and loves to share his love for Disney through his Disney character voice impersonations.

•What was your autism journey?•

Our journey began in 2001 when our son, Jake, was diagnosed with Autism. At the time, Autism was not as widely recognized as it is today, and no one in our immediate circle truly understood the diagnosis.
It was a lonely experience; while our friends had "neurotypical" children, we found ourselves feeling increasingly disconnected.

Initially, I went into "Manager Mom-Mode," trying to handle every struggle for Jake to ensure he had the best life possible.
Then one day, I read a meme one day that read, "When you cut it for me, write it for me, open it for me, or tie it for me, all I learn is that you do it better than me."
I realized that by doing everything for him, I was unintentionally teaching him that I could do things better than he could.
This was a hard-hitting revelation: to reach his potential, I had to allow him to face adversity and learn to do things for himself.

We moved to Evansville in 2005 when Jake was five. While we found the area supportive, we had to be proactive in seeking services. Feeding therapy with Dr. Betsy Clawson was a major breakthrough for us.
In 2012, I joined the Board of Directors for Autism Everyone (formerly IASF and Autism Evansville) to help support other families navigating similar paths.

•What advice would you give to families struggling with a new diagnosis?•

For families struggling with a new diagnosis, my advice is to understand that you cannot simply "fix" or control Autism.
It is like a slow-cooker; progress takes time, but eventually, you will see remarkable breakthroughs in everyday tasks.
Try not to worry about whether your child will "catch up."
Like popcorn kernels, every child "pops" at their own time when given enough heat and patience. 🤍

3.9.26. Our friends at Los Bravos surprised the team at Autism Everyone with a sponsorship for our upcoming Taking Steps For Autism Walk & 5K. 🫶🏻

Los Bravos holds a special place in the heart of our Executive Director, Kelsey.
Her son, Camden, is on the autism spectrum and experiences significant food challenges. Like many individuals on the spectrum, Camden has a very limited list of safe foods — and one of those is the cheese dip at Los Bravos.

Between meetings and community commitments, you can often find Kelsey stopping by to pick up a to-go order — sometimes several times a week.
For Camden, it’s more than just a meal…
It’s comfort & consistency in a world that can often feel overwhelming.

What makes Los Bravos even more special is their generous support of Autism Everyone. Their partnership and willingness to give back to our mission mean more than they know.

When local businesses show up for our families, it creates real impact in our community.
We are incredibly grateful for businesses like Los Bravos that not only serve great food, but also serve with heart. ❤️
Thank you for supporting Autism Everyone and the families we walk alongside every day!

3.5.26. A significant portion of our work by our team at Autism Everyone is completed behind the scenes, whether that’s calling newly diagnosed families to offer support and resources, or being out in the community to attend meetings.

But this one requires a little back story. 🫶🏻

In early February, our friends at Aurora Evansville reached out for available resources for a vulnerable teenager on the spectrum.

Because of strong community partnerships, the staff at both AE and Aurora came together to care for this young individual until reunification with family was possible.
This is the power of collaboration.

The timing of it all, truly gave us chills!
Aurora and AE worked together to be at the right place, at the right time.
This is why community partnerships matter!💕

A heartfelt *thank you* to the staff at Aurora for the support, their dedication to the unhoused community, and for the surprise flowers and thank you card to our executive director, Kelsey. 🌸
