Peer Support & Discussion Circles

Autistic led groups, guided by educator and peer support coach Mati Boulakia Bortnick, are a space for neurodivergent adults to connect. Whether you were diagnosed early, later in life, or are still exploring, you are welcome whatever your background, level of observance, or knowledge about Judaism or autism.

• Meets every other week
• Limited to 20 participants
• Includes access to a private WhatsApp peer group

You are welcome
whatever your background

Art Fellowship: Celebrating Creativity

Our founder, a longtime champion of the arts and proud comic book enthusiast, has spent years advocating for Jewish creative voices as clergy at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute.

The Art Fellowship shines a light on autistic creatives in the Jewish community, giving them a platform to share their work and connect with wider audiences. We love helping talented autistic Jewish artists get their work seen and appreciated. Share your creations and join a community that values and celebrates artistry.

Community Guidelines

We want our spaces to feel safe and welcoming for everyone. We may decide if a group is the right fit for a participant. All participants agree to our disclaimer and group guidelines when they join. What’s shared in our groups reflects the voices of those in them and does not necessarily represent the Jewish Autism Network. Our goal is a space where everyone feels respected and welcome, and we appreciate your help in keeping it that way.
