Autism Alliance of Michigan

Thousands of Michigan families affected by autism face never-ending physical, psychological, emotional and financial challenges. Minimizing, even eliminating those challenges is why Autism Alliance of Michigan (AAoM) was created. AAoM is prepared - at no cost - to counsel, advocate and connect families to evidence-based care and support; however long it takes.

With the rate of autism now 1 in 54 and a stunning 49% prone to elopement, individuals with autism are at greatly increased risk for wandering-related deaths. With schools closed from COVID-19, disrupted routines, and the usual childcare options in turmoil – many parents and ad hoc caregivers are now unexpectedly responsible for the 24/7 care of children with autism, leading to an increasing number of potentially unsafe situations. AAoM provides free wearable GPS devices and 1-year service scholarships to needy families to help ensure their child with autism stays safe, along with educational safety kits that provide pertinent information to create a safety plan.  Now more than ever,  we need your help to keep our children safe. 

By participating in the #MayDaysofGiving movement, you can help ensure we are doing our part to help families keep their loved ones with autism safe.
