Reseautisme37

Réseautisme 37 is an association based in Tours, Indre-et-Loire, supporting autistic people and their families. Its purpose is to build a community for mutual assistance, support and shared experience, and it states its opposition to psychoanalytic approaches to autism. The association offers a parent-to-parent listening and support service, where families can seek advice, help or someone to talk to by phone or email.

Members can access a community-recommended directory of professionals who are trained in or familiar with autism, covering areas such as education, childcare, employment, health and social care, sport, arts and culture. Families may also recommend professionals for inclusion in the directory. Réseautisme 37 encourages people to join, volunteer or donate, and organises events and informal gatherings for members.

The association also showcases the creative work of autistic people, including drawing, illustration, photography and other artistic projects. Through these activities, it connects families, shares practical resources and helps highlight autistic people’s talents and perspectives
