关于我们
1 in 36 individuals is diagnosed with autism. It is estimated that over 10,000 are diagnosed locally. AutismUp is the leading not-for-profit autism support organization in the Greater Rochester and surrounding areas. Founded in 2004 by a small group of parents, the organization has grown to include more than 3,700 member households. The mission of AutismUp is to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and their families, by expanding and enhancing opportunities that improve quality of life. AutismUp specializes in customized social skill, readiness skill, supported fitness and recreation, and sensory integration programs, and offers a myriad of navigation, training and support services for parents, caregivers, siblings, first responders and professionals. AutismUp is a founding partner of the Golisano Autism Center (GAC), which now houses our Multi-Sensory Learning Environment for individuals with autism, and their entire families! We offer innovative programs and equipment in a state-of-the-art, safe, sensory-friendly and highly supported environment. Skill development classes offered are designed for participants to have fun, be fit and make friends. The GAC is our "home base," open to the public and is an extension of our many community based programs, allowing us to offer programming seven days a week! AutismUp aspires to provide the very best in autism support programs and services and aims to support peak performance at every age and ability. We know that every individual with autism is different, and we endeavor to match the level of support to each individual participant. Why do we know this? Because we are parents of children with autism too, and we get it. Children with autism are growing up and becoming adults with autism. AutismUp is creating opportunities for individuals with autism and their families for a lifetime, including adult services. We are made for families, by families. autismup.org

AutismUp, in collaboration with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department, is proud to distribute FREE Blue Envelopes to individuals on the autism spectrum. The Blue Envelope is a designated holder for a driver’s license, registration, and insurance, designed to improve communication and understanding during a traffic stop. With written instructions on what to do if pulled over, this tool helps both individuals with autism and law enforcement navigate interactions safely and effectively. This initiative is taking place in both Monroe and Livingston County. We’re honored to support this as part of our mission to enhance safety, education, and inclusion.

Did You Know? - Autistic women are often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Many develop strong social masking skills—imitating behaviors, suppressing stimming, and adapting to social expectations—leading to late or missed diagnoses. Because of these internalized traits, women are frequently diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, or other conditions before autism is considered. Understanding these differences is key to ensuring more women receive the support they need. This Women’s History Month, let’s recognize the unique experiences of autistic women and work toward better awareness, advocacy, and inclusion. #WomensHistoryMonth #AutismAwareness #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #AutismInWomen #EquityInDiagnosis #DiversityAndInclusion
