For 60 years, Autism Society San Diego has supported individuals with autism and their families through trusted resources, meaningful programs, advocacy, and community connection.
This April, we invite you to be part of our #Give60 Campaign, a month-long effort to celebrate six decades of service while building momentum for the future.
Our goal is to raise $60,000 in the month of April, helping us expand programs and strengthen support services.
Every contribution moves us one step closer to ensuring that individuals with autism and their families continue to receive the support they need for the next 60 years.
Funds will directly support programs like Family Camp, CAMP I CAN, Surf Camp, Support Groups for all ages, Adult Social Gatherings and our 24/7 Ask Line.
- Family memberships to Autism Society San Diego
“Being a member of Autism Society San Diego has given our family something we didn’t know we were missing - a real community. Through programs like Family Camp and Camp I CAN, our kids have safe, joyful spaces to be themselves, try new things, and build confidence. And for us as parents, it means having a place where people genuinely understand our lived experiences, where we don’t have to explain or apologize, and where we can find resources, support, and friendships that make navigating autism feel a little less overwhelming. It’s more than activities - it is belonging.”
- Support for monthly Pool Parties or Dance Parties
"I met my best friend at one of our Dance Parties. Now I can't imagine life without my best friend."
“I love the pool parties! It’s where I learned to swim all by myself. The water feels good, everyone cheers for me and I get to have fun without anyone rushing me. I can’t wait for the next one!”
- Art supplies, T-shirts and games for Camp I CAN
“Camp I CAN gave my child a safe, joyful place to explore the community, build friendships, and actually look forward to camp every single day. The counselors were patient, supportive, and truly understood what our kids needed to feel comfortable and included. Watching my child gain confidence, try new things, and be surrounded by people who ‘get it’ made this camp incredibly special for our whole family.”
- Art supplies and games for Family Camp
“Family Camp gives our kids the freedom to be themselves and try new things in a safe, joyful, and truly inclusive environment. For us as parents, it’s a rare chance to relax, connect with others who understand our lived experiences, and feel completely at ease. The friendships, confidence, and sense of belonging we all gain here make it a magical, unforgettable time for our whole family.”
- Rash guards for Surf Camp
"The most valuable part is to be in nature in a supported environment where my son can test being independent while supported by someone different. That builds safety and trust in life."
