Our 4 Core Values

Accept

We believe in the unconditional acceptance of our autistic children and ourselves as autism dads. It’s about embracing our kids for who they are and where they are, while also recognizing and accepting our own strengths and struggles as fathers. By leading with acceptance, we create a positive and respectful example for our families and communities.

Inspire

As dads, we have the power to inspire not only our children but also each other. We are dedicated to celebrating the wins—big or small—and showing that we, as fathers, can make a real difference in our kids’ lives. We want every autism dad to know that their role matters and their journey has the potential to create lasting change.

Enrich

AutasticDad exists to provide dads with the tools, resources, and community they need to enrich their own lives and the lives of their families. From parenting strategies to personal growth, we want to make sure every dad feels equipped to be the best advocate, supporter, and role model they can be.

Empower

Our mission is to empower autism dads to step confidently into their role as champions for their children. Whether it’s navigating school systems, advocating for acceptance, or just being present and engaged, We want every dad to feel capable, supported, and ready to help their kids achieve their fullest potential.
