Who We're Here For
We support families raising autistic and neurodivergent children — especially those navigating new diagnoses, big questions, and a world that doesn’t always feel built for their kids.
​
At The Includers Club, children don’t have to mask or “fit in,” and parents don’t have to explain or justify their experiences.
​
You’re welcome here exactly as you are.
What to Expect
A space designed with your child — and your family — in mind.
Come As You Are
Your child is never expected to mask, perform, or fit a mold.
Movement, sensory needs, and different ways of communicating are welcome here.
Parent-Friendly & Judgement-Free
No explaining. No justifying.
You’ll be with caregivers who understand — because they’ve been there too.
Connection Over Compliance
We focus on shared experiences and relationships — not rules, pressure, or forced participation.
​
​
Predictable, Not Rigid
We offer clear expectations and flexible structure so families can relax and feel prepared.
Help Build an Inclusive Community
The Includers Club is building inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming community spaces for autistic and neurodivergent children and their families.
​
Right now, support looks like staying connected, spreading the word, and helping us grow a welcoming community rooted in belonging and understanding.
​
As we grow, we’ll continue to share ways to support that feel accessible, aligned, and always free of pressure.
​
Your support helps cover the cost of space, sensory materials, and keeps our monthly playgroups accessible for families.
