SUMMARY:AuSM Workshop - Eating Disorders and Autism: Understanding the Overlap and Supporting Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Autistic individuals are at significantly higher risk for certain eating disorders—especially anorexia and ARFID—yet their experiences are often misunderstood or overlooked in traditional treatment models. This workshop\, co-presented by the Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) and Melrose Center\, explores the intersection of autism and eating disorders through research\, lived experience\, and clinical insight.\nWe’ll examine why eating disorders and autism frequently co-occur\, how autistic traits can shape the presentation of eating disorders\, and why many conventional treatment models fall short for this population. Attendees will gain practical tools for providing or advocating for more affirming\, individualized care—whether you’re a provider\, caregiver\, or autistic person navigating recovery.

SUMMARY:AuSM Adult Coffee Club
DESCRIPTION:Coffee Club is a space where autistic and neurodiverse adults can connect with each other\, foster friendships\, and build community while enjoying a favorite beverage and/or snack. Adults are welcome to bring items that make them feel comfortable\, can stay as long as they’d like\, stim\, and parallel play. We ask that participants purchase something from our venues. \nAuSM will provide a concierge staff person to help assist with questions\, check-in\, help with ordering\, and manage any issues that arise during the club. AuSM will provide a number of resources\, including a social narrative providing club details\, parking info\, menus\, and more. Due to staffing\, AuSM is unable to provide one-to-one support\, however it is encouraged to bring your own PCA or support person if needed.
