Casa Mathi

Association Mathi, also known as Assomathi, is a Rennes-based association bringing together autistic young people, families, professionals and supporters of adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Its purpose is to promote high-quality support and greater inclusion for people with autism. The association works to challenge prejudice, defend the rights of people with ASD, and encourage social and professional participation in ordinary community and workplace settings.

Its activities include supporting young people with their social and career pathways, promoting behavioral approaches to autism support, and providing training for people who work with or care for them. The association also offers advice to families and professionals and raises public awareness. Its projects include developing inclusive housing and innovative opportunities for social and professional inclusion, as well as collaborating with the Italian organization Oltre il Labirinto. For families and the wider community, Association Mathi provides loans of Montessori materials and autism-related books, shares a monthly newsletter, and organizes leisure activities.
