AutismBC Meets and Community Groups
[Website]
“Meets are perfect for those of you who want a casual atmosphere to interact with other parents, families, or self-advocates. […] Everyone needs a place where they feel safe to open up and share their challenges and triumphs. A place to connect with a community of people who understand and can offer advice. […] AutismBC Meets support groups provide opportunities for people in the autism community to connect, empower, and learn from one another. […] Common themes that come up are parenting challenges we have had since the last Meets, advocacy issues we’re facing, upcoming developmental milestones around things like school that we’re worried about, interactions with those outside of the autism community which might be positive or negative, and our exhaustion at having these extra challenges to face.”
AutismBC has groups/meets for Caregivers of 0-10 yrs Children; Caregivers of 10+yrs children and youth; Caregivers of Adults on the Spectrum.
