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.

This multi-session support group is designed for parents/family members of Autistic adults and teens with who are transgender or who are exploring or questioning their gender identity. Gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation or preference. Gender identity is one’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither–how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. Autistic individuals may be more likely to identify with a gender/s that is different than the sex assigned at birth. The intersection of these two identities is common, but not often talked about in the same space. When an adult child questions their gender identity parents are often initially overwhelmed by questions and concerns, and more questions may surface as their child continues on their journey. This is not a therapeutic support group.
