FAQS: Everything You Need to Know About Joining Our Adventures
Who Can Participate in Adventures for Autistic Adults?
Anyone on the Autism Spectrum aged 16 or Over
At Adventures for Autistic Adults, we believe friendship, learning, and meaningful community experiences should continue long after high school.
Our programs bring autistic adults together to explore new interests, build confidence, develop friendships, and enjoy life beyond traditional programs.
Every participant is unique, and we're committed to helping individuals and families determine whether our adventures are a good fit.
Do Parents or Caregivers Need to Attend?
Not necessarily!
We encourage participants to develop confidence and independence at a pace that works for them.
Some individuals may attend independently once our team has become familiar with their needs. Others may initially benefit from having a parent, caregiver, or support person accompany them.
We'll discuss these arrangements during the introductory meeting and work together to determine the most appropriate level of support.
What Adventures Do You Offer? When Do They Take Place?
Every adventure is an opportunity to connect, learn, and have fun!
Our activities include bowling, swimming, museums, nature outings, cooking, art, music, theater, games, educational classes, and community events. We do not have traditional office space. Our members meet at the event location. We consider ALL of North Texas to be our classroom. :)
We offer a variety of experiences designed to encourage friendship, communication, confidence, and greater participation in the world around us.
Our calendar changes regularly to provide fresh opportunities and accommodate different interests.
We offer activities Monday through Friday, with most outings lasting approximately two hours.
Our usual meeting time is 1:30–3:30 p.m., although schedules may vary depending on the activity or location.
Occasional morning, evening, or weekend events may also be offered.
How Much Does It Cost and How Do I Pay?
Participants receive specific dates, times, locations, and details through our private Facebook events group.
We work hard to keep our adventures affordable for families.
Most activities cost $20–$40, depending on the length and type of experience.
Admission fees are always included in the listed activity price, so families know what to expect before registering.
Special outings or classes may have different costs, which will be clearly communicated in advance.
Payments must be made prior to attendance preferably via Zelle. We also accept Venmo, check, or cash.
In addition to event payments, a yearly membership fee is required.
Supervision and Attendance
Events: The ratio for members to adults for field trips will always be 2-1. Once slots are filled, that day will be "blacked out." Events are typically limited to twelve members.
Transportation
Participants and families are responsible for transportation to and from each activity.
We understand that transportation can be challenging, particularly for adults who do not drive independently.
Although we do not routinely provide transportation, we may be able to help families identify appropriate public transit options or transportation services.
