October at Autismo Café: A Month of Healing and Connection
This October, something powerful is stirring at Autismo Café. Circles of connection, nights of self-care, family-centered gatherings, and even a Halloween celebration are all unfolding under the heart of The Infinite Heart Initiative. Each event is more than a date on the calendar, it is a doorway into healing, community, and hope. But the real magic isn’t in the schedule. It’s in what happens when you walk through the door…

Love in Action: October with The Infinite Heart Initiative
Every movement begins with a heartbeat. For us, that heartbeat is love. The Infinite Heart Initiative was created to remind families, caregivers, and individuals that healing begins when we choose ourselves and when we choose each other.
This fall, our community has been blooming with connection, empowerment, and creativity. At Autismo Café, what started as a gathering place has grown into a sanctuary for families raising children with unique and extraordinary needs. It is here that we are building bridges, sharing stories, and creating spaces where no one feels alone.
Why the Infinite Heart Initiative Matters
Too often, families navigating disability or neurodivergence feel isolated, as if their voices and struggles are unheard. The Infinite Heart Initiative exists to change that story. Through programs, circles, and community events, we are creating places where healing is possible, empowerment is encouraged, and inclusion is celebrated. Every event is designed to be sensory-friendly, welcoming, and rooted in compassion.
