New Adult Issues Networking & Support Group
for family members & supporters of Adults living with ASD

Are you the parent or adult sibling of an individual with ASD who is 17 years of age or older? How are adults with autism being served today? What will their future – and yours – look like? Do you want to meet other families in your community who are living with similar situations? How can we best support each other? What’s next for us?

York Region Chapter is initiating a NEW networking & discussion group just for you! Help us shape a support group which will focus on the realities, successes and challenges for adults living with ASD and their families.

Next Meeting to be arranged based on your feedback!
