A Little About Us

It's About You

Found It! was organically grown out of the desire and need to...Provide peer support and social activities for adults affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and as well as other developmental and intellectual disabilities. We believe everyone has the right to friendships and support. Our goal is to help our members gain the tools needed so they no longer fall through the cracks.


We started in Solano County because there were not many options for adults who were moderately impacted from D/ID. We wanted to make sure everyone had an opportunity to be a part of a peer group or have an active, independent social life. Most current programs were located outside of the county, cost too much, and/or were designed for those under 18. We needed a program of our own, in our own community. 


After searching and seeming to come up short, we “Found It“ within ourselves to create something that we believe is truly special for all Determined Adults and want to share it with you. So now, you have Found It! Too.       ~Alexis and Family   

What We Do

Provide Peer Support* 

A facilitator will meet with the group to discuss:

  • Life's challenges
  • Building relationships
  • Anxiety/Coping Skills
  • Communication
  • Basic Skills (microwave cooking)
  • It's Really Up to You!

The goal is to be a peer led group. A facilitator is onsite to ensure a welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere and to keep the group on topic. A short video maybe viewed or an agreed topic can be discussed or even learn something new alongside your peers. 

*Participants must be moderately self-sufficient and able to actively communicate.


Our Social Power Hour

We love to get together. Some of our activities include:

  • Popcorn Night at the Lounge
  • Festivals (Anime, Comics)
  • Karaoke
  • Sporting events/participation (Sabering, hockey games, wrestling (SPW))
  • Movies
  • Art projects
  • Bowling 
  • You Name It!

What You Can Do

Help get the word out and Join Us!


We get it. You want someone to talk to, someone who understands and has walked in your shoes, someone to just call friend. Living with a disability can be tough and can impair the ability to make friends and we want to help.


While our primary focus are individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities between the ages of 18-50, we welcome ALL including those with social anxiety.


Our Peer Support and Social Power Hour meetings are held twice a month at the Joseph A. Nelson Community Center, 611 Village Drive, Suisun City.


Social Opportunities for Disabled Adults (SODA) members are always WELCOME!


*We only meet once a month in November and December.
