Our 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.
With the current social distancing safety precautions in place, we have moved to a Zoom meeting format for most support groups.
ASC's support groups are open to Colorado residents. If your state does not have an Autism Society affiliate, please contact us here.
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 give participants an opportunity to discuss topics related to autism.
Our Tuesday group leans toward adults age 40+ and the Wednesday group leans toward adults in their 20s and 30s, though neither has a firm age requirement. The Tuesday and Wednesday adult support groups meet in the first and third week of each month. A few times a month, all ages of ASC's adult support group participants are invited to attend an in person social gathering. See our meeting guidelines here.
