The Staten Island Autism Warriors have been providing autism-friendly events to the Staten Island community since 2014. Our organization came to fruition because of our own personal connections to individuals on the autism spectrum. As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to give back to the community by sponsoring events and social gatherings and to further aid individuals who have been diagnosed with autism. Our events provide those with special needs and their families a judgement-free environment where they can be themselves. We are a 501(c)(3) organization.
