The Orion constellation has guided travelers for centuries, a brilliant cluster of stars lighting up the night sky with beauty, clarity and strength. It's easy to find if you know where to look. But, more than that, it reminds us that even in darkness, there is wonder and light. There is direction. There is brillance.​

 

Autistic children are just like Orion. Sometimes the world doesn't know how to see them, but once you do, you can never unsee the magic. They shine in unique patterns, communicate in unexpected ways, and fill the world with light that can't be measured by standards alone.​

 

We chose the name The Orion Circle to honor that brilliance. To build a community that sees, supports, and surrounds children like the stars in the constellation, each one important, each one connected, each one made to shine.
