    Want to flex your creative muscles and share and discuss writing? The Online Creative Writers’ Group is an online 7 session workshop where participants will have an opportunity to share writing and offer feedback. We welcome writers of all creative genres—from short stories to poetry, screenplays, fan fiction, and more. This workshop is not an instructional class but rather a chance to connect and network with other writers. Whether you are working on a new piece or want to revisit an old one, here is your test audience. One session will feature talks by two published authors, including graphic novelists, playwrights, children’s book writers and more, all of whom have a connection to Autism. Hope you can join us!

  • Multi-Session Support Group for Parents of Gender Diverse Adults & Teens (14+)

    Recurring
    Virtual

    This multi-session support group is designed for parents/family members of Autistic adults and teens with who are transgender or who are exploring or questioning their gender identity.

    Gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation or preference. Gender identity is one’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither–how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. Autistic individuals may be more likely to identify with a gender/s that is different than the sex assigned at birth. The intersection of these two identities is common, but not often talked about in the same space. When an adult child questions their gender identity parents are often initially overwhelmed by questions and concerns, and more questions may surface as their child continues on their journey. This is not a therapeutic support group.

    The group offers a combination of facilitated peer support and information for parents who are starting or continuing on this journey with their child. “Closed” support groups for parents have the same members (12) for a set number of sessions (8). These groups are ideal for parents who want to go beyond sharing their stories with newcomers each time at open support group meetings. Other adult family members, such as siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, or even close family friends can also join these groups. These closed support groups also let parents give voice to their concerns and frustrations and celebrate their victories. “Closed” support groups offer facilitated peer support for parents who are facing these and other challenges.
