About autism.place

Helping families find places and moments that work

Our Mission

autism.place was created by parents, for parents navigating the challenges of finding autism-friendly venues and activities. We know firsthand how exhausting it can be to research whether a museum has quiet hours, if a restaurant tolerates longer wait times, or if a park has sensory-friendly equipment.

Our platform brings together parent-verified information about venues, real-time occupancy predictions through our Go Now™ meter, and small-group meetups designed specifically for autistic children and their families.

We believe every family deserves to explore their community with confidence, knowing they'll find understanding, accommodations, and support wherever they go.

What We Offer

Go Now™ Meter
