Groups
Adult Autistic Spectrum Disorder Group
Our unique and supportive group best described by one member is like “taking off the heavy chainmail”. This is a psychosocial group but facilitated by a licensed clinician certified as a Specialist in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Group includes two mentors with an ASD diagnosis to support members in organizing social engagements and activities outside of the group. We are very protective of our milieu and all group members are required to attend a onetime intake with a licensed clinician before attending. Members can expect to experience a supportive and inclusive environment where each member is valued individually. Food is provided at all of our session.
