Join us for a supportive and informative online gathering designed specifically for parents and caregivers of autistic teenagers. This is a safe space to share experiences, ask questions, and connect with others who understand the unique joys and challenges of raising an autistic teen.
This support group will cover a range of topics relevant to the teenage years, including:
- Communication and social skills
- Navigating friendships and relationships
- Managing sensory sensitivities and emotional regulation
- Preparing for independence and adulthood
- Advocating for your teen's needs in school and community settings
Who should attend: Parents, guardians, and caregivers of autistic teenagers (ages 13-19).
What you'll gain: Connection with other parents, practical strategies for supporting your teen, and a renewed sense of community.
Format: This is a virtual support group meetup facilitated by experienced parents and professionals in the autism community. We'll begin with a brief introduction and then open the floor for discussion, Q&A, and sharing of resources.
Special Note: This event is free and family-friendly. We encourage you to come as you are and participate at your own comfort level. Closed captioning will be available.
