Born from the initiative of parents facing daily challenges related to ASD, the association aims to inform, support, guide, and connect families with appropriate contacts. It currently assists over twenty families with administrative, educational, and disability-related procedures.
Several regular events are offered: the parent support group « À Côté de la Bulle Bleue » on the first Thursday of each month at 6:30 PM; the « Blueblegirls » group for teenagers, every Wednesday from 6 PM to 7:30 PM, focusing on artistic projects and cultural outings; and family workshops every other Saturday on various themes such as origami, sewing, non-violent communication, or Brain Gym. These activities take place at the Café des Parents room in the media library, by registration.
Autisme Auterive also conducts awareness campaigns for schools, healthcare professionals, and the general public through workshops, educational games, and conferences. The association collaborates with numerous local and medico-social stakeholders, including the Centre Ressources Autisme (CRA) of Toulouse, the MDS, the CCAS, specialized associations, educational institutions, healthcare professionals, students from the University of Toulouse, media libraries, and the cinema L’Oustal.
In January 2027, the association will organize the first edition of its awareness month, « Un pied dans la Bulle », featuring several events open to the public.
