AuSM Summer Fun
On these pages, you’ll find a summer line up of both virtual and in-person activities designed to meet the needs of youth and adults with autism, and to match your personal comfort level for interaction. In this our 50th year, we celebrate individuals with autism by continuing to offer a welcoming place to learn, access services, and develop skills for navigating emotions, information, and life.
