Support Groups

AuSM provides a variety of support groups to meet the needs of parents, children, family members, individuals, couples and more. Support groups offer those affected by autism the opportunity to share problems, solutions, joy, and sorrows with one another. Advance registration is required.

For the foreseeable future, no AuSM Support Groups will be meeting in person. For our Independent Adults with ASD, LGBTQIA+, and Women’s Support Groups, please RSVP using the forms below. For our Family Members of Adults with ASD Support Group, please email info@ausm.org to receive the Zoom link.
