Valuable Peer Support Chapter meetings bring together parents and families who are dealing with the same emotions, some joyful and some painful, that you may be experiencing. Joining a chapter allows you to share with and learn from others.
Many chapters offer specialized support groups for siblings and other family members.
Local Information and Referral Volunteers who have gained experience and knowledge regarding your local school systems, doctors, and other service providers in your area operate most of the chapters. By joining a chapter, you can gain this same knowledge through chapter meetings and discussions with other chapter members. Many have developed brochures and written materials on various issues or topics. Local Workshops and Seminars Chapters often sponsor workshops and seminars on a wide range of issues, bringing in nationally known speakers or local professionals. Many chapters have publications to lend on autism topics.
