AUsome Moms began in 2014 as an online support group, founded by Kelly Andrus after her son was diagnosed with autism. She began connecting with other moms on the same journey and started hosting monthly dinners, creating a space for them to lean on one another. What began as a handful of women meeting over food and drinks has grown into a community of more than 12,000 women across DFW, all connected by one thing: raising an individual on the autism spectrum.
As the group kept growing, it became clear this was more than a support circle, so we became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2017. With autism now diagnosed in 1 in 36 children, AUsome Moms has become a lifeline for families across the metroplex. We are run by an all-female, 100% volunteer board, inspired by our own children and driven to support this community in real and lasting ways.
Donations go toward things like adaptive swim lesson scholarships, grants for safety and sensory items, and hosting inclusive events for moms and families, like our annual autism resource fair which is open to the public.
AUsome Moms was created to provide support, social opportunities, and education to families of children on the autism spectrum throughout the DFW metroplex. AUsome Moms is devoted to supporting local moms in our community and making a positive impact on their lives and the lives of their children.
