Our Online Peer Support Groups
These groups are not meant to take the place of professional therapy, but rather to give participants an opportunity to discuss topics related to Autism in a healthy and understanding environment. If you have questions about our support groups please email us here.
All support groups are virtually free and accessible for Colorado residents and surrounding state residents to attend support groups. All participants must register in order to attend support groups. If your state does not have an Autism Society affiliate, please contact us here.
By attending these support groups, ASC Online Peer Groups Policy will be shared and enforced, or disciplinary action is taken to keep these support groups in a healthy and understanding environment. Participants are considered to have provided their consent to agree to the policies of the Autism Society of Colorado.
ASC online peer groups have created recommended guidelines as best practices when attending online groups to create a comfortable environment for all individuals. Please read and acknowledge the guidelines when participating in groups.
The Autism Society of Colorado reserves the right to deny admission to and/or ask participants to leave a group meeting. We do understand that some individuals on the spectrum may find it challenging to understand and follow the ASC Online Peer Groups Policy. We are committed to working with our participants and community when problems may occur. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact program@autismcolorado.org.
Autistic Adult Support Groups
ASC's Adult Support Groups are a place for autistic adults to connect. These groups are not meant to take the place of professional therapy, but rather to allow participants to discuss topics related to autism and share experiences.
Our adult groups are most popular for individuals to connect and are offered on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays to limit the size of the group. Please know each group is different and is structured differently due to having different facilitators. Only autistic adults are allowed to join these groups.
