Alpine Valleys Autism Community

Alpine Valleys Autism Community is a lived experience led organisation supporting Autistic people and Carers of Autistic people across the Alpine Shire.

Founded by local residents who are late-identified Autistic, and Carers to young Autistic people, we create safe, welcoming spaces for connection, learning, and mutual support.

We embrace and celebrate Autism as a natural part of human diversity, and our work is guided by neurodiversity-affirming principles that focus on genuine acceptance and understanding.

Through our Autistic Peer Support Group, Autism Carer Support Groups, and online communities, we're building a stronger, more connected Autism community for our region.
