Dedicated to autism awareness and support, CAN aims to create inclusive communities where individuals with autism can live, work, and play without judgment or worry. The organization offers programs like the Autism Travel Card, which discreetly signals to participating businesses that a family member has autism, ensuring appropriate service and support. CAN also provides sensory-friendly events and collaborates with businesses to foster autism-friendly environments. In January 2016, Surfside Beach became the first autism-friendly travel destination, with Myrtle Beach and Horry County following suit in 2018.
