About The Kind Group
The Kind Group was founded by Margaret Secary, a proud tattooed momma who created The Kind Group for her Autistic Nonverbal daughter to give her a space to be a part of something special and unique in a chaotic world that otherwise has no place for her. Our mission is to create a truly kind community that promotes Love, Kindness, acceptance, understanding, inclusivity, and Autism awareness.
We create unique events and expressive apparel that helps the Autism Community share with the world who they are and what they are feeling. The Kind Group feels like this is important for EVERYONE on the planet, not just people with autism, to express kindness and acceptance. We are BETTER TOGETHER, and it is crucial that we understand Autism is considered a spectrum because it’s different for EVERY autistic person, and just like the rest of the world the autistic community want to have a purpose and special space to express and share who they are and be seen. The Kind Group brings Awareness and understanding of Autism to create a better world not only for people with autism but also for the families and caregivers affected by autism.
