Born from Personal Devotion
Outlaws 4 Autism was born from a very personal place in my heart. My daughter, Marianna Nell Higgins, or Sissy as I lovingly call her, named after my late grandmother, is the inspiration behind everything we do. As an autistic and nonverbal child, her journey ignited a fire within me. Once the idea to help others formed in my soul, there was no turning back. The thought of being able to support so many families keeps me grounded and humbled. This entire endeavor is my personal bond to Sissy, a testament to her strength and spirit.
Empowering and Advocating for every family
Outlaws 4 Autism stands out by offering unique support to individuals and families affected by autism. We aim to help them better understand the autism spectrum and educate them on its nuances. Our mission is to point families in the right direction for available resources and essential healthcare. Above all, we are here to willingly and unconditionally fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, providing a voice and unwavering advocacy for the most vulnerable members of our community.
Fostering a World of Understanding
Our biggest dream and goal at Outlaws 4 Autism is to foster a world where everyone grasps a better understanding of autism. We strive for a community where compassion and patience are extended readily to those with autism. By promoting awareness and empathy, we hope to create an inclusive environment where individuals on the spectrum can thrive and feel truly accepted. Join us in building this brighter, more understanding future.
"Outlaws 4 Autism has been an absolute lifeline for our family. Their guidance and unwavering support have made an immeasurable difference in our journey with autism."
