Module 3: After the Diagnosis (For Parents)

Connect with a Support Group

There are numerous support groups available for parents and families of children with autism. Some of the groups that I have had the most experience with are the following organizations.


Autism Society of America:
Main website
Local groups

Autism Speaks:
Main website
State resources

Families for Early Autism Treatment (FEAT):
Main website
Local groups: on the main website, scroll down on the left side of the page, and look under the heading "Other FEAT websites."

Yahoo Groups (find an online support group by searching "autism")

Autism and PDD Support Network (a very active online support group)

Another way to find a local support group is to do an online search (such as with Google or Yahoo) for "autism support group YOUR LOCATION."
