This multi-session support group is for parents who have an Autistic adult child 23 years of age or older. Other adult family caregivers may also register for this group. Multi-session support groups are ideal for parents and other adult family caregivers who want to go beyond sharing their stories with newcomers each time at open support group meetings. AANE support groups provide an opportunity for parents and family caregivers to voice their concerns and frustrations and celebrate hard-won and unexpected victories. Although each group will focus on different themes and questions, here are some of the most common ones: Now that your child is an adult, how do you support and/or parent without power? *Please note that these meetings will not be recorded.
