Autism Evansville is a nonprofit organization committed to serving families affected by autism across seven counties in southwest Indiana: Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, Warrick, Pike, Spencer, and Knox.
Families may often feel lost, isolated, and don’t know what steps to take upon receiving a diagnosis. That’s where we come in. See our four autism-centered community programs below and visit the First Steps Upon Receiving An ASD Diagnosis tab to take the first steps to give your child the tools they need to thrive.
Forever improving the lives of individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder through partnerships for support, treatments, and care.
Autism Evansville has a passion for those affected individuals and their families. Our executive director, board of directors, and other volunteers oversee and administer all programs. Through partnerships with service providers, schools, and the local community, we carry out our mission.
Autism Evansville events bring individuals and families who have autism spectrum disorder, their siblings, and parents/caregivers together in a supportive recreational environment.

3.12.25. We’d like to thank our private donor, who’d like to only be identified as RwK.
This individual’s generous donation to Autism Evansville allows our nonprofit organization to continue providing support to the autism community.
A lot of our hard work is done behind the scenes, and it is an honor that our dedication to the families we serve is recognized by this individual.
Thank you, RwK, for your continued support to the Autism Evansville team, and our families!

February 2025. Autism Evansville will be highlighting the families we have the pleasure of serving through our new series: **Family of the Month Spotlight**.
We hope to gain awareness and acceptance of the conversation regarding autism, as well as allow our organization, Autism Evansville, to engage, highlight, and celebrate the autism community that we serve. 💕
In addition, we hope to educate our community to see that autism doesn’t have a “look” and that we should never judge a book by its cover.

*FEBRUARY FAMILY OF THE MONTH SPOTLIGHT*
I'm Fitz, and I have a smile that is contagious.
My laugh can change anyone's mood!
I have overcome many challenges and continue to thrive with the help of my therapists and teachers.
I love school and a scheduled routine.
I also love to be at my house and play with my toys. I'm best friends with my little brother, Eddie (I call him Eggie).
My favorite places to go are the aquarium, Dig N Roll, Deep Blue, and I love to swim.
Advice I can give you: please be patient with me.
I can't communicate very well verbally and sometimes I get frustrated. I'm very shy. I don't love big crowds, but I will ease into them slowly.
It takes me some time to feel comfortable.
I also don't love to be rushed.
Please hold my hand and make me feel comfortable. 💙
—Fitz
