This 8-week gender inclusive support group is for LGBTQIA+ women, femmes, and nonbinary people. In this group members can build an ongoing connection with a small community.
AANE support groups give members an opportunity to celebrate successes and support each other through difficulties. Common topics of discussion are:
– Masking/camouflaging
– Sensory sensitivities/overloads
– Relationships
– Self-care
– Disclosure
– Work/jobs
– Intersectionality
Join us on World Autism Day, Thursday, April 2, for a powerful gathering of voices from across the Neurodivergent community. We will explore how our intersecting identities of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, culture, and neurotype shape our Neurodivergent experiences of belonging and connection. Together, we’ll celebrate the strength of our shared experiences and imagine a future where every Neurodivergent person is seen, valued, and included.
Learn about inclusion and its benefits. Understand how you can use the IDEA requirement to educate children in their least restrictive environment as a springboard to having children with disabilities learn with their peers.
Registration: Please call Donna Minor at 770-276-0151 or email konokeda@gmail.com by April 1, 2026

First Thursday of the month: Support group meeting for parents of children ages 22 and under with free social skills groups for ages 5-22 and childcare for under 5. Siblings welcome.
This group always meets on the first Thursday of the month and is for post-high school Autistic adults who are interested in discussing and exploring their gender in a supportive setting. Most people who attend identify as transgender, nonbinary, and/or genderfluid, and some are questioning their gender identity or gender roles. Join us to share stories and perspectives, and to get support. No autism diagnosis or certainty about gender identity is required to attend. This is a safe place to explore intersecting identities.
Spectrum has partnered with Emory School of Nursing in starting a Women Only Group for women ages 18 and up with HFA/Asperger's, focusing on sharing challenges and successes of transition, supporting one another, and building friendships for success. This group meets twice monthly via Zoom, first and 3rd Fridays. Contact Dr. Susan Brasher to be added to the email notification list and for an invitation to join the private FaceBook page (Emory PCORI Young Women on the Autism Spectrum Group) susan.n.brasher@emory.edu
