Itineris is dedicated to embracing diversity and promoting safe spaces for inclusion, which is why we are proud to celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride Month this June. According to Psychology Today, it’s estimated that anywhere from 30% to 70% of those who are neurodivergent are also part of the LGBTQIA+ communities, with the greatest overlap being found within the autistic community.

Today and every day, we celebrate the individuality, identities, and voices that make our community stronger.

Happy Pride from all of us at Itineris!

As our fiscal year wraps up, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to two board members who have dedicated themselves to autistic adults and our mission.

Board President P.J. Shafer will remain on the board, but is stepping down from the President position.

Peter Kirchgraber, also a previous board president and longtime driving force behind Itineris, has completed a 10-year term on our board.

Our community is forever grateful for your leadership, expertise, and support!

We look forward to introducing our new Board President and Executive Committee next month!

As our fiscal year comes to a close, we are reflecting with gratitude on a year of growth, resilience, and meaningful progress for the Itineris community.

This year marked an exciting new chapter as Lauren Eaton stepped into the role of Executive Director. Her leadership, vision, and dedication has strengthened our organization and positioned Itineris for continued growth and sustainability, even in the face of a 4% reduction in funding from the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA).

At Itineris, autistic adults thrive. They join wellness groups like Spirit Fitness and yoga, make meaningful progress towards the goals they set, and engage in opportunities for community, employment, and independent living. We are dedicated to providing evidence-based, person-centered programming and resources to autistic adults in Baltimore. But we need your help to do so.

Consider making a gift today to sustain these life-changing services. If you have already done so this year, your generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank you for being part of the Itineris community and empowering autistic adults.

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this Memorial Day, let us honor those who have paid the ultimate price, support those who continue to protect our freedoms, and recommit ourselves to building the nation they envisioned.

In observance of Memorial Day, Itineris will be closed today, May 25th. We will reopen tomorrow, May 26th. Have a lovely holiday.
