Do you enjoy crafts such as knitting, crocheting, sewing, and embroidery? AANE has created a new online group for you! The group is available to Autistic adults regardless of skill level or diagnosis. The group will meet every second Sunday of the month on Zoom. Each meeting will have time to work on individual projects and get feedback from group members.
This group meets on the second Monday of the month and is for the neurotypical individual married to or in partnership with someone who is Neurodivergent.
Please join us for a 4-week book study reading through Dr. Temple Grandin’s The Loving Push. We will be discussing the book, what skills are needed to be a successful and happy adult, and how we think about moving our children towards a sense of independence. This is geared toward parents of children ages 12 through adulthood.
For adults of color (21+) exploring neurodiversity later in life—whether through ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or other learning differences (diagnosed or self-recognized).
Join our 5-week multi-session group to connect, share, and grow in a space that honors both your neurodivergence and cultural identity. Together, we’ll navigate the unique challenges of late discovery in a world not always built for us.
You’re not alone—let’s find understanding together.
