About this Event
A sweet way to bring the autism community together
Ice Cream for Autism is a free, sensory-friendly community gathering created by Just Me and the Boys, a neurodivergent family dedicated to supporting other neurodivergent families through resources, events, and awareness around Autism, ADHD, and homeschooling.
What started as simple weekly ice cream trips between a mom and her two boys slowly grew into something special. After inviting neighborhood friends — many of whom were also on the spectrum — those small outings inspired the idea to create a day where autism families could gather, socialize, and simply enjoy a sweet treat together.
Now in its 4th year, Ice Cream for Autism has become a community tradition that families look forward to each April.

What to Expect

Sweet Treat Details
• The first 25 children to arrive will receive a free ice cream treat provided by the event.
• Adults and additional purchases will be available through the ice cream shop as normal menu purchases.
Because the ice cream shop does not currently offer dairy-free options, we will also have dairy-free popsicles available for children with dairy sensitivities, generously donated by community supporters so that every child can feel included.
Our mission remains simple:
Bringing the autism community together with a sweet treat.
We look forward to seeing families, friends, and community members come together for another meaningful year.
