  • Online “Open” Support Group for LGBTQIA+ Adults

    This is an hour-long support group for Autistic LGBTQIA+ adults. It is a safe space to find community, share stories with, or gather support if needed from folks of similar experiences. This group hopes to provide support and comfort. The group is facilitated by a trans person on the spectrum. No autism (or related) diagnoses are required, nor is certainty about your queer identity. This is a space to explore all those things. It is also for all post-high school adults over 18 years old.

  • Atlanta Botanical Gardens Family Activity

    Atlanta Botanical Gardens 1345 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA

    A day at Atlanta venues is a typical outing for a typical family. But a family with a child with disabilities might never consider such an outing; their child may not be able to spend the entire day to justify the cost of the tickets or they may shy away because of the stares of strangers. Families can check in anytime between 9-11AM & walk throughout the gardens at their own pace.
