OUR STORY
AURA ELIZABETH VIZCAYA
A mother, educator, and community advocate, began her journey by supporting other mothers at the therapy centers where she accompanied her son Mauro, who was diagnosed with autism at 20 months old.
As someone who is also diagnosed with autism and combined ADHD, Aura developed a deep understanding of the challenges many families face after receiving a diagnosis. She soon realized that many Hispanic families in Gwinnett County, Georgia were encountering significant barriers: limited access to information in their language, difficulty navigating complex healthcare and education systems, and a lack of accessible resources for early intervention.
Motivated by this reality, she decided to take action. What began as an informal support network among parents gradually grew into the nonprofit organization we know today as Autismo Día a Día.
Today, the organization works to educate, support, and empower families while building a stronger community where no family has to navigate the autism journey alone.
If you are a parent facing a similar situation, we want you to know something important: you are not alone. We are here to support one another. Autism has entered our lives to teach us how to unlearn, relearn, and live each day with greater understanding, patience, and love — day by day.
