Autism Tree’s mission is simple and deeply personal: to help the autism and neurodiverse community live their best lives. Every day, we work to ensure individuals and families feel seen, supported, and truly connected. That’s why all of our programs are offered at NO CHARGE - so every family, regardless of circumstance, can belong.
This Christmas Eve, we’re excited to share a short, silly, and heart-warming video featuring Jonah Parks, an autistic young adult who has been part of the Autism Tree Family since 2014, and his Autism Tree-USD Football Player Mentor, Elijah Johnson.
Filmed during our 16th Annual Winter Wonderland, the video captures Jonah confidently taking on the role of interviewer - asking fun questions, sharing laughs, and showing off the genuine bond and friendship he and Elijah have built together. Their joy, humor, and connection perfectly reflect the spirit of Autism Tree.
The grant revenue we depend on for daily operations has not come in this fiscal year. As we head into the final days of the year, we are working hard to sustain the programs that individuals like Jonah depend on — programs that create confidence, friendships, and lifelong connections.
We invite you to watch the 2-minute video above and celebrate the joy, laughter, and belonging that your support makes possible.
