Ausome Indy
A family-led nonprofit building community, connection, and sensory-friendly experiences for families navigating autism in Indianapolis.
Get StartedAbout Ausome Indy
Ausome Indy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2019 by a mother and aunt passionate about creating community for families navigating autism. Rather than providing clinical therapy, Ausome Indy fills a critical gap by offering peer support networks, sensory-friendly events, and advocacy resources that empower families beyond the therapy room.
Their programs serve both parents and children—from the Ausome Indy Moms Network and Dads group to sensory tool distribution for children in foster care transitions. By fostering genuine community connections and advocating for autism-friendly businesses across Indianapolis, Ausome Indy ensures that no family walks this journey alone.
