Our logo. An infinity symbol in a multitude of rainbow colors. Our name and our tagline "a presence on your journey" are listed below the symbol.

New Year - New Look!

We put a lot of thought into changing our logo. We wanted something that was bright, colorful, and could clearly explain what we do. But, we didn't want to stray too far away from our roots. So, without further ado, we'd like to show our new logo!

The infinity symbol represents infinite possibilities, while the rainbow color design represents diversity. The rainbow infinity symbol was first used on Autistic Pride Day back in 2005 to represent neurodiversity and the idea that no two people will experience the world in the same way. There is no "right" or "wrong" way.
Our mission has always been to be "A presence along your journey". We don't ever plan on changing that. CAR will always meet you where you are at and be there right alongside of you for the length of your journey.
We hope that you all enjoy this logo as much as we do.
If you're interested, we do have T-shirts, 3/4 zip sweatshirts, and winter hats available to purchase. We have not added this to our website... yet! But, if you are interested in purchasing some new CAR swag, please reach out to Mary Fox MFox@community-autism-resources.com
Thank you to everyone that helped us create this new logo (our amazing staff, Board of Directors, and our graphic designer, Amanda Fox Kelley).
Please bear with us as we update our website and social media pages to reflect this new logo....Thank you!

Community Autism Resources is excited to announce that we have received a $12,500.00 grant from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.

These funds will be used for adult social activities to be held throughout this calendar year. This grant will provide CAR the opportunity to reach over 120 autistic adults with fun and age-appropriate programs.

According to CAR’s Co-Director Mary Fox, “We are excited to extend our current social groups and activities to include autistic adults. We have so many fun groups and activities scheduled for the upcoming year. We are excited to be able to meet the need for these types of programs and to offer them at no cost to our adult population.”

“The Flutie Foundation Autism Community Impact Grants help our partner agencies address a variety of significant needs in the autism community,” says Nick Savarese, Executive Director of The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. “Programs like these are helping people on the autism spectrum live life to the fullest and we are proud to support their efforts.”

The Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism, based in Framingham, MA, awards grants annually through a competitive application and review process. The Autism Community Impact Grant that the Flutie Foundation distributed this year support traditionally under-served, under-funded, culturally diverse communities reflected in the Foundation's areas of interest; providing a path for educational and vocational skills, supporting recreational and active lifestyles, and ensuring people with autism are safe, supported, and informed.

We are so grateful to receive this funding and value the ongoing relationship we have with the Flutie Foundation and appreciate their generosity to CAR and our families…..Thank you!
