Since 2015, we’ve brought together the world's most sought-after leaders in autism research and advocacy, distilling and summarising their combined wisdom, practical insights and actionable advice for use by the global autism community.  

The Vault has resources to answer all your burning questions:

• What does “being autistic” even mean? How do I reframe my identity around a new diagnosis?
• How do I manage anxiety and overwhelm effectively in order to avoid meltdowns?
• I always feel like I’m wearing a mask to hide my true self. Will that ever be different, and if so, how?  
• As a parent, how do I balance the constant stress of trying to be a good parent with the need to avoid burnout? 
• How do I connect with my autistic child on a deeper level and work effectively with their classroom teacher?
• What can I do to set healthy screen time boundaries for myself?
• My patterns and routines are important! What can I do to get others to take my need for them seriously (without being a total jerk)?
• How do I handle the unpredictability and stress of social situations in ways likely to lead to success?
• I’m a perfectionist! How do I leverage this to help me succeed--and how do I stop before I’m “done” if I need to?
• What do I need to do to harmonise with my neurotypical partner? How can we work together to both get what we need?

If these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. The Vault has the answers you need, backed by the community support you need to implement them in your real life—helping you transform potential hurdles into stepping stones for personal growth.

Yes, you can buy a ticket to attend a monthly webinar without being an AFTI member for $30 AUD on our Events page. But you might as well try out one month of our membership for $29 AUD, which includes the ticket to the monthly webinar.

We're confident the resources in our Memberships will help you, like they've helped so many of us.  But in case you don't feel the same way about it, both subscriptions are backed by our 30-day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee.  

A worldwide tribe dedicated to creating a space where individuals like us on the autism spectrum can find non-judgemental support, connection, and inclusion with others who understand our journey.  

In the Autism From The Inside Community, our members find:

Belonging and understanding:

• Come to know the deep satisfaction of having a community where you’re ‘on the inside’—and truly understood and appreciated—rather than feeling constantly left out.
• Finally connect with a group of acquaintances, colleagues, and friends who see you, and can empathise with the struggles and triumphs the rest of the world doesn’t understand.

Genuine interaction:

• Find solace in a space where you don’t need to feel invisible, fight for attention, or dread the exhausting experience of posturing and misinterpreting social cues.
• Make and connect with friends that ‘get’ your passions and interests (and may even share them!) and are excited to celebrate even seemingly small wins.
• Discover a social scene that understands sensory sensitivity, overwhelm, and the need to catch a breather, and builds its get-togethers with accommodations in mind.

Empathy and support:

• Add a facet to your support system of real people who go through some of the same things, can understand your quirks and differences, and can validate the unique emotional, psychological, and physical struggles that others don’t even see.
• Expand your support team on a global scale—it’s like suddenly finding you’ve got a tight-knit group of friends like you, all over the world!
• Be able to share your experiences without judgement, and know you’re not alone.

Advocacy and Empowerment:

• Find the encouragement and experience of those who have "been there before" to empower and embolden you to advocate with polite firmness for the things you need to be at your best at home, at work, and elsewhere.
• Learn how to recognise and support others, on and off the spectrum, in their own struggles and social and organisational frustrations.
• Learn about and contribute to efforts large and small to raise awareness and help build a world where neurotypical and neurodivergent worlds meet, understand, and support each other better.
