Hey there, friend! 💃 In today’s inspiring episode of Adulting with Autism, we step into a space where movement meets neurodivergent empowerment—the incredible Autistic Wings Dance Company, a nonprofit studio founded by mother-daughter duo Amanda and Leta in Colorado Springs.
Autistic Wings isn’t your average dance program—it’s a trauma-informed, sensory-aware space built by and for autistic dancers. From ballet to hip-hop, every class is designed with neurodivergent communication, learning styles, and sensory needs in mind—no masking, no pressure, just expression.
🩰 What we talk about:
Why traditional dance studios often fail autistic dancers
How Autistic Wings created the first IEP-style adaptive dance curriculum
The emotional impact of being seen—and not shoved to the side
Why therapists are now recommending dance as an alternative form of expression
Their mission to expand into a larger, sensory-safe space to serve even more dancers
Whether you're an autism parent, educator, or just someone who believes in inclusion with soul, this episode will move you—literally and emotionally.
