Join the Autism Hope Center for fellowship and resources. First and third Tuesday of every month.
This group is designed for parents and other adult family members of Autistic children in the tween range (grades 4-9). The multi-session support group provides a guaranteed spot over a set number of sessions, which creates an opportunity to develop deeper connections and receive extensive peer support from the same group members
Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill for us all. We are seeing more and more examples of those who have crossed lines in our culture. Even though people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are sexual beings, just like everyone, they also need the information and skills to navigate these waters and learn what’s okay and not okay in various settings.
This FREE 60-minute workshop will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality one-on-one with the individuals you work with. We will explore why this topic can be difficult to approach and useful tools that will help you become more comfortable and confident communicating about this sensitive topic.
When it comes to planning for life after high school, it is important to think about working, learning, and living in our communities. These topics all play a part in the various paths a person may choose to take in pursuing their independent living goals.

This group meets the third Thursday of every month. Food, camaraderie and a topic will be discussed. If you have ideas for topics you'd like to see covered, just let us know!
This is a Support Group for autistic adults who are parents. As an autistic individual, parenting brings with it a multitude of unique experiences and challenges. That’s why we’re here! Together we can share lived experiences and offer support to one another so we can grow and succeed in parenthood. Whether your child is arriving soon, a toddler, in high school, or an adult themselves, parents of all genders are welcome.
This event is to help parents with an Autistic child. If you’re unsure how to provide structure with kids out of school, need some self-care, or if you’re feeling isolated from other adults and the community, drop into our community support sessions to connect with other parents. Sessions will be facilitated by AANE’s Individual and Family Services staff who know firsthand the need to maintain a balance for ourselves and our children when life brings the unexpected.
