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 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.
CGA and Artspace Macon welcome our Autistic adults community for an evening of summer fun! Create your own summer art. Join a conversation, or hangout with your headphones, whatever works best for you!

This event is free for up to 20 participants, thanks to the support of Central Georgia Autism. Space is limited—please register to reserve your spot. This Art Night is for Adults only.

Support Groups also called Share Groups are the backbone of FOCUS, the first program ever offered. Share Groups meet monthly (September to May) in several different locations around metro Atlanta so parents can meet other parents and share tips, fears, and joys. Parent volunteers facilitate the groups, keeping them positive, constructive, and uplifting.
