Find Your Tribe
Welcome to Kaboose, a safe space for Young Autistic People to connect and build positive social relationships.
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
Kaboose is the new social media app offering a safe and engaging online platform for Young Autistic People to connect with their peers through shared special interests.
The significance of having a robust support network shouldn’t be underestimated, with social disconnection leading to a 26% greater risk of premature mortality. With over 90% of the world’s population using social media and 75 million autistic people globally, Kaboose is committed to providing a safe social network for young people to build a supportive tribe. Through innovation, advocacy and coaching, we’re working to reduce loneliness for our young people.

ABOUT US
At Kaboose, our aim is to improve mental health and connectedness of our autistic young people, through friendships and employment. A place for young autistic people to make meaningful, safe social relationships and improve overall mental health and connection to a community.
As a parent of a child with Autism, my experience in advocacy and, through my volunteer work in Autism and Disability, I’ve met too many young people struggling to find and make friends. Seeing my own son suffer from feelings of loneliness and disconnectedness, I decided to set up a community that could safely facilitate the building of supportive tribes, and allow our kids to develop relationships that are meaningful for them.
We’re also aiming to offer employment opportunities to Young Autistic People, with positions opening in the future to help us build and manage the platform.
