ASOC Support Groups

Real connection. Real conversations. Real support.

At ASOC, support groups are welcoming spaces where individuals and families can gather with others who get it. These aren’t one-on-one coaching sessions — they’re community-based discussions where members listen, encourage, and inspire one another through shared experience.

The Parent’s sessions will focus on the increasingly difficult issues that arise as children with Level 1 Autism (Previously called Asperger’s, HFA or PDD-NOS) reach adulthood.

College and employment are the tip of the iceberg. Lack of social relationships and a tendency to shut themselves in their rooms playing computer games are common battlegrounds. These challenges and more will be addressed in small group settings.
