Spring is a season of growth, hope, and new beginnings—and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than together.

This special morning is an opportunity to:
• Meet other families on a similar journey
• Celebrate the achievements and voices of nonspeaking autistic individuals
• Raise awareness about communication rights and neurodiversity
• Enjoy a relaxed picnic in the beautiful surroundings of Zita Park

Bring your picnic blanket, your favourite snacks, and your heart for community.

Together, we're creating a future where every voice is heard—even when it isn't spoken.
