A multi-session support group has the same group members (up to 12) for a set number of sessions (8). Multi-session support groups are ideal for adults who are looking for deeper connections and more extensive peer support from group members.

This group offers a safe environment where Autistic adults can talk with like-minded people, share issues and concerns, and celebrate successes. Common topics include: disclosure, self-advocacy, and relationships.
