Local Tenacity was created by and for parents, autistic and neurodivergent adults, caregivers, professionals, and allies who believe that support, resources, and opportunity should be accessible to every special needs family and individual—no matter where you live.
What We’re Building,With You
Our community is growing fast! Here’s what you can expect:
- A trusted directory of special needs resources, providers, and community supports, coming soon.
- The Shutdown Survival Series: 50 state-specific guides with plain-language links for food, housing, disability supports, crisis lines, and more.
- Volunteer and hiring opportunities for every ability—including roles intentionally designed for autistic and disabled adults, caregivers, and veterans.
- A welcoming space to share your story, connect with others, and help shape what we build next.
Why “Community-Driven” Matters
Every family’s journey is unique, but none of us should have to walk it alone.
We invite you to:
- Suggest a resource or provider
- Volunteer as a reviewer, accessibility tester, or peer mentor
- Join our hiring interest list
- Share your feedback and ideas
Together, we’re building a safer, more connected support network—one state, one family, one idea at a time.
