Autism parenting can feel overwhelming.
You shouldn’t have to carry it alone.
Find weekly connection, thoughtful conversations,
and people who truly understand.
You may be carrying more than most people realize.
The sleepless nights.
The endless researching.
Wondering if you're doing enough.
Advocating at school, navigating therapies, worrying about the future—and often feeling like few people fully understand.
Autism parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also feel isolating.
Navigating Autism was created as a thoughtful space where parents can connect, share honestly, and feel understood by people walking similar paths.
Support matters.
Feeling understood matters too.

I created the community I wish I'd had.
Hi, I'm Lisa.
After raising my son with autism for more than two decades, I know the uncertainty, advocacy, and exhaustion many parents carry.
I know what it feels like to wonder if you're doing enough, to spend late nights researching, and to wish there were more spaces where parents could speak honestly without judgment.
While experts matter, I believe there is tremendous value in parents supporting one another through lived experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Navigating Autism for?
Navigating Autism was created primarily for parents raising children with autism who want support, thoughtful conversation, and practical resources.
We also welcome grandparents, caregivers, autistic adults, professionals, and others who care deeply about the autism community. Diverse perspectives strengthen conversations and create deeper understanding.
This space is built around respect, support, and learning from one another.
Why join when free autism groups already exist?
Free groups can be helpful—but many become noisy, overwhelming, or difficult places to build genuine relationships.
Navigating Autism is designed differently:
✓ Smaller, supportive conversations
✓ Weekly connection and live events
✓ Parent perspectives and shared experiences
✓ Practical resources without endless scrolling
✓ An ad-free space focused on autism families
✓ Thoughtful discussion instead of algorithms and drama
The goal isn’t simply more information—it’s meaningful support.
What makes this community different?
Navigating Autism was built by a parent, for parents.
This community prioritizes connection, respectful discussion, practical resources, and real-life experiences—not endless posts or overwhelming feeds.
Members help shape conversations, support one another, and build the type of community many wish they had found sooner.
What kind of events happen inside this community?
Events may include:
• Weekly Coffee Talks
• Office Hours with Lisa
• Guest speakers and interviews
• Topic discussions and monthly themes
• New member welcomes
• Parent conversations and support sessions
Our goal is to create opportunities for meaningful connection.
How much does membership cost?
Membership is $14.99/month, or save with an annual membership and receive 2 months free.
New members receive a 14-day free trial to explore the community before being charged.
Please note: the platform requires a payment method upfront to activate the free trial, but your card will not be charged until the trial ends.
Founding Members may receive additional early supporter benefits as the community grows.
Why does membership cost money?
Many autism parents have experienced it:
Posting in public groups only to be judged, dismissed, argued with, or told they’re harming their child simply for asking questions or sharing experiences.
Navigating Autism was created to be different.
Membership supports a private, moderated, ad-free community where respectful conversation comes first—and where parents can ask questions, share struggles, and learn without endless noise, trolling, or algorithms.
Your membership also helps support:
✓ Community moderation
✓ Live events and conversations
✓ Educational resources
✓ A supportive space built by parents, for parents.
Membership helps create something increasingly rare online:
A supportive environment where they can exhale, ask questions honestly, and feel understood.
Is this a respectful space for differing opinions?
Yes.
Members may have different experiences, perspectives, and opinions, but respectful conversation is expected.
We aim to create an environment where people feel safe asking questions, sharing struggles, and learning from one another.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You may cancel anytime without penalties and maintain access through the end of your current billing period.
What if I want to join but cost is a barrier?
We believe support should be accessible to everyone.
If membership cost would prevent you from participating, please contact us to discuss discounted or complimentary access options.
