Autumn’s Gift is an essential resource for the entire family. Parents from all over use our respite services to take the necessary timeout to reconnect, laugh, rejuvenate, socialize with friends, catch up on emails, shop, or take a nap. Our signature respite programs are tailored for neurodiverse persons of all ages - and are designed to keep each member actively engaged - while enabling their families to build long lasting relations.

Founder’s Story
I am the mother of an autistic teenage girl that has sensory processing difficulties, anxiety, and dyslexia. I have experienced firsthand the need for quality social experiences, guilt-free respite care, and inclusive settings for persons coping with neurological and developmental differences. Since 2009, Autumn’s Gift, its team of advisors, and sister company Autumn’s Gift Respite Care (founded in 2017) have successfully created exceptional programs with the Braves Major League Baseball Team, Hands On Atlanta, Autism Speaks, Boys & Girls Clubs of Atlanta, and Perimeter Church in Johns Creek. Autumn’s Gift Inc is a unique spectrum of programs for persons with and without special needs that features social clubs, exciting outings, music, entertainment, annual small group retreats, and personalized care. We are distinguished amongst other support services & organizations by offering caregivers a number of quality driven, guilt-free experiences in varying locations throughout Georgia.
