Our mission

Stories with a purpose

We are building TAMITOS into a worldwide children's brand: a series, books, games and characters that kids everywhere love. And as that world grows, so does our promise: a share of everything the Tamitos earn goes back to the families who inspired them, supporting autistic children and other neurodiverse people all over the world.

Likes that help

A like is not nothing. It is 2 000 euros.

We made a simple deal with Slovak creators: for every 60 000 likes on a video we give 2 000 euros to autistic children and their families. No small print, no conditions.

Support for families in 2026TAMITOS reports €25,000 on this page. The €6,000 from the run and €6,000 from the campaign are included in that figure, not added to it.TAMITOS records; this page does not provide an independent financial audit.

Where the money went

This year’s two biggest payouts

Why it matters

Autism is more common than most people think

1 in 31 Children in the USA

diagnosed as autistic (CDC, 2025)

1 in 100 People worldwide

are on the autism spectrum (WHO estimate)

75M+ People globally

are autistic today (estimate)

And the numbers keep growing. As awareness and diagnosis improve around the world, more families than ever are looking for the tools, stories and support that help their children feel understood. TAMITOS was created for exactly this moment, as a kind, worldwide brand that helps every child feel seen, in every language.

From stories to real help

TAMITOS Autism Centres around the world

Our long-term mission is to use part of the income TAMITOS creates to build TAMITOS Autism Centres around the world: safe, sensory friendly spaces where neurodiverse children and their families find therapy, community and belonging.

Every book sold, every episode watched and every favourite character brings one of these centres closer to reality.
