kNOw More Initiative

kNOw More Initiative

A community-focused organization based in Whitwell, Tennessee, dedicated to educating and advocating for greater understanding of autism, invisible disabilities, and communication differences in Marion County and the surrounding area.

The Initiative works to reduce stigma, increase awareness, and provide resources so individuals with autism and other invisible disabilities can thrive. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, they help families, schools, businesses, and neighbors build more inclusive environments. Activities often include awareness events, workshops, resource sharing, and public outreach to foster empathy and practical support.

Why It Matters

Invisible disabilities can be challenging to recognize, and the kNOw More Initiative aims to bridge that gap by encouraging the community to “know more” — promoting acceptance, better communication strategies, and access to support services for affected individuals and their families.

If you’re a parent, educator, business owner, or neighbor looking to learn more or get involved, follow their Facebook page or reach out directly through local channels. Initiatives like this strengthen our communities by celebrating neurodiversity and supporting every neighbor!
