Autism Support Unit - ASU LLC Empowering families, businesses, and first responders through autism education, training, and support services. Based in Lincoln, NE.

07/29/2026

When we started setting up the business side of Autism Support Unit, we knew there would be a lot to learn. Every new step comes with questions, challenges, and sometimes even a few “user error” moments along the way. 😂

During one of those moments, I walked into a U.S. Bank location and was greeted by Erin. From the very beginning, she was professional, patient, and took the time to explain what the next steps would look like and who would be reaching out to help. But what stood out even more was that she wasn’t just helping with a banking question, she was genuinely interested in learning about ASU, our mission, and why we’re doing what we do.

That conversation led to a phone call today with Zach, and I have to say, what started as a quick solution to a technical issue turned into something much more meaningful. Within just a few minutes, he had the problem figured out, but he also took the time to listen as I shared about Autism Support Unit, our goals, and even our upcoming fundraiser event.

For us, this journey has been about so much more than building a business. It has been about the people we meet along the way. The connections, conversations, and support we’ve received have been reminders that this mission is bigger than any one person.

I truly believe God has placed incredible people in our path at exactly the right moments. From community members to businesses, families, and now the people helping us build the foundation of ASU, every connection has been a blessing.

Thank you, Erin, Zach, and the U.S. Bank team for not only helping us with banking, but for taking the time to understand the heart behind Autism Support Unit. We are grateful to have you as part of this journey. 💙

🍿 Vendor Spotlight: Butter Batch Popcorn 🍿

Today we're excited to introduce Butter Batch Popcorn Co., one of the amazing local businesses joining us for the Autism Support Unit LLC Community Fundraiser on Saturday, August 22!

Butter Batch Popcorn Co. is a locally owned Lincoln business specializing in handcrafted gourmet popcorn made fresh in small batches. From classic favorites to bold specialty flavors, every batch is made with quality ingredients and a passion for creating something unique.

At the fundraiser, you'll be able to enjoy a variety of fresh gourmet popcorn flavors, including:

🍿 Butter
🧀 Cheddar
🌽 Kettle Corn
🍿 Cheddar Caramel Craze
🌶️ Raspberry Chipotle
🧄 Parmesan Garlic
🥒 Dill Pickle
🔥 Jalapeño Dill Pickle
🍁 Maple Bourbon Habanero
🍯 Salted Caramel

What makes Butter Batch Popcorn Co. unique is that they believe popcorn should be an experience, not just a snack. While many events offer traditional kettle corn, Butter Batch brings a variety of sweet, savory, cheesy, and spicy flavors so everyone can discover something they love. They also encourage sampling because finding a new favorite is part of the fun!

For this fundraiser, Butter Batch is bringing something extra special:

🌈 Introducing Spectrum Crunch! 🌈

Spectrum Crunch is a limited-edition gourmet popcorn created specifically for the Autism Support Unit fundraiser. Inspired by the vibrant colors of the autism community, this colorful blend celebrates neurodiversity, inclusion, and acceptance.

The best part? Sales from every bag of Spectrum Crunch will go directly toward helping bring the Autism Calming Unit to life.

Every purchase helps move us closer to creating a safe, sensory-friendly space for autistic individuals and others experiencing sensory overload during community events and emergencies.

When asked what inspired Butter Batch Popcorn Co., they shared:

"I have always had a passion for cooking. For me, it's the love of seeing someone enjoy what you have made. I started making popcorn on my stove using real clarified butter, and it was a hit. I started bringing it to work, and people loved it. Then a coworker approached me and bought six bags. That was my first unofficial order, and that's when I realized this could become something special."

Butter Batch is truly a family-owned business built one batch, one customer, and one community event at a time.

"Butter Batch isn't a big company. It's a local small business built through opportunity, drive, and a desire to build something of our own. Every purchase helps support a family-owned business, and those dollars stay right here in our community by supporting local events, organizations, and other small businesses."

Supporting Autism Support Unit is also personal for Butter Batch.

"Autism hits close to home with Butter Batch. My daughter is on the spectrum. We understand the struggles, the joys, and the immense love that people on the spectrum are capable of. Any opportunity to help support that is worth doing 100%."

Thank you, Butter Batch Popcorn Co., for supporting our mission and helping bring the Autism Calming Unit one step closer to serving our community. 💙

🫓 Vendor Spotlight: Anna’s Pupusas 🫓

Today we're excited to introduce Anna’s Pupusas, one of the amazing local businesses joining us for the Autism Support Unit LLC Community Fundraiser on Saturday, August 22!

Anna’s Pupusas is a truly family-owned business dedicated to serving the Lincoln community with delicious, handcrafted pupusas made with quality ingredients and a focus on nourishing the people they serve.

At the fundraiser, you'll have the opportunity to try some of their unique creations, including:

🫓 Traditional pupusa flavors
🔥 Birria Pupusas stuffed with mozzarella and served with rich consommé broth for dipping
🍯 Spicy Honey Chicken Pupusas
🥤 Freshly made drinks including Cold-Pressed Pineapple Water and Cold-Brewed Hibiscus Water

What makes Anna’s Pupusas unique is their commitment to pushing beyond traditional recipes while maintaining high standards for their ingredients. They carefully consider what goes into every dish, from their filtered water system to their use of cold-pressed olive oil.

One customer favorite they are excited to share is their Chicken and Cheese Pupusas. They describe them as a healthy, handcrafted alternative to the classic chicken nugget, made with real ingredients and loved by kids!

Behind every meal is a powerful family story.

Anna’s Pupusas was built from a dream to help create a better future for their family. After years of hard work, their parents made the transition from physically demanding jobs into sharing what they have always been passionate about: cooking and connecting with people.

Their food is a reflection of their journey, powered by love, sacrifice, resilience, and a deep connection to the Northeast Lincoln community that has welcomed them like family.

Supporting Autism Support Unit is meaningful to Anna’s Pupusas because they understand the importance of community support.

"We know that no one gets through difficult times alone. We are better when we lock arms as a community."

They shared that after hearing the journey of a local family raising a child with autism, they gained an even deeper appreciation for the dedication and support families provide every day. Supporting Autism Support Unit is their way of standing beside those families and reminding them they are not alone.

Thank you, Anna’s Pupusas, for supporting our mission and helping bring the Autism Calming Unit one step closer to serving our community. 💙
