Véro & Louis Foundation | “Différent comme toi” Collection
The 2026 “Différent comme toi” collection at Aubainerie
It’s with great joy and pride that Aubainerie is renewing its collaboration with the Véro & Louis Foundation as part of the 2026 “Différent comme toi” campaign. It’s a natural partnership, as this initiative aligns with our shared core values of respect, inclusion, and celebrating differences.
We invite you to mark Autism Awareness Month by picking up a piece from the collection, available online and in stores. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Véro & Louis Foundation, which for the past 10 years has been pursuing an essential mission: creating long-term living environments adapted for autistic people aged 21 and over, with or without an intellectual disability. Thanks to your support, this model continues to grow, with new homes coming soon.

The Véro & Louis Foundation
Founded in 2016, the Véro & Louis Foundation is dedicated to creating long-term living environments for autistic people aged 21 and over, with or without an intellectual disability. Beyond providing supportive housing designed using leading architectural best practices for autistic adults, the Foundation has also developed an educational program to help residents build autonomy and reach their full potential. This innovative project is supported by various research initiatives to evaluate and continuously improve its approach, with the goal of replicating the model elsewhere in Quebec. The first home, located in Varennes, opened in June 2021. Today, two new Maison Véro & Louis projects are in development: one in Victoriaville, in the Mauricie–Centre-du-Québec region, and the other in Saint-Jérôme, in the Laurentides.
The “Différent comme toi” campaign
The Véro & Louis Foundation is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and is back for a new edition of its signature “Différent comme toi” campaign. Available on the Foundation's online boutique, in participating Aubainerie stores, and on Aubainerie.com, this collection lets everyone proudly show their support for inclusion and diversity. By purchasing a “Différent comme toi” piece, you’re taking concrete action to support the Foundation's mission: creating long-term living environments adapted for autistic adults aged 21 and over, with or without an intellectual disability.
In 2025, the campaign raised $750,000 net thanks to the generosity of Québécois. These funds directly help improve the quality of life of autistic adults and their families by supporting the development of the Maisons Véro & Louis across Quebec, research projects, and the educational programming offered to residents.
This year, the collection includes six limited-quantity styles: two adult hoodies, two adult t-shirts, and two kids’ t-shirts. There are so many reasons to support the Foundation by purchasing a piece at Aubainerie or online. Show your solidarity and support a project that changes lives.
