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.
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
RSVP for the Women Only monthly virtual meeting. Meetings are held the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month, 5-6 pm.
Connections for Special Parents
Spectrum has partnered with Greater Goals ABA to support local families by providing free early developmental screenings and autism diagnostic access for children under 8 years old — helping reduce long waitlists and ensuring families can access services sooner.
This event focuses on early identification, parent education, meaningful community support, and creating a faster path to intervention.
Families receive a no-waitlist screening opportunity, along with clear next steps tailored to their child’s needs. They gain faster access to therapy services and guidance navigating insurance options, so they can move forward with confidence.

Fundraising event! A portion of the proceeds benefit the North Georgia Autism Foundation.
Spectrum Saturday Social Club will provide a safe space for adults who are on the autism spectrum. Participants who are out of high school and are 18 years or older, have independent self help skills, and are able to function with little supervision. The group will meet on Saturdays from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm where they will play games, enjoy karaoke, or watch movies with friends. The club will be supervised by professional staff that will facilitate the members to help make new friends and strengthen social skills.
This will be like a gym membership where you pay $200 for 10 week session to participate one Saturday or all Saturdays in a quarter. You must register but then can attend as often or as little as you want. Registration is now open!
This group meets one Sunday a month and is for parents, family members, and friends of Autistic individuals. Guest speakers are hosted every other month.
The Animated Minds ATL is a welcoming community for autistic adults ages 18 and older who share a passion for animation and visual storytelling. This program is designed for adults who do not require support or supervision and who enjoy creating and sharing their work with others.
Participants gather to talk about animation, draw, create, and connect with others who share similar interests. Members often bring their own creations to share with the group — including characters, animated shorts, comic books, and other visual storytelling projects. The club celebrates creativity, imagination, and collaboration in a supportive environment.
Each month, participants also have the opportunity to learn from guest speakers with expertise in animation, art, film, voice acting, and more, who share their skills and creative process with the group.
Join us every quarter for Family Bingo — a fun-filled event for all ages while supporting Spectrum! Bring the whole family and enjoy an afternoon of excitement, laughter, and community.
Play for great prizes, enjoy free concessions, and make lasting memories together. Whether you’re a Bingo pro or playing for the first time, everyone is welcome!
