“Seeing the facilitator, autistic like me, showed me that maybe I can do it too. That representation matters.”

We hear reflections like this every season — and they remind us why these groups are so important. 💛

✨ Registration is still open for Fall groups: Chilling on the Spectrum, Wildflowers, Artistic Autistic, and Sunflowers Parent Support.

🍂 September transitions can be tough.

Heading back to school, adjusting routines, or shifting out of summer mode can bring stress and overwhelm — especially for autistic people navigating changes in schedule, environment, and expectations.

☀️ Like sunflowers turning toward the sun, parents of neurodivergent kids naturally seek spaces where they feel seen, supported, and understood.
