ABOUT US
Mission
Mothers And Autism Meetup is a community-based organization that’s dedicated to helping mothers with children on the autism spectrum. MAAM helps by equipping mothers through educational, financial, and community resources. We also provide children with opportunities to break social barriers through community events. This will help mothers to advocate effectively, while teaching our children about peer awareness and acceptance.
Vision
We envision a world where every mother finds the strength, perseverance, and love to navigate the autism journey with grace and poise. While each child can build the confidence they need for a unique and thriving future.
