Parent Connections Meet-Ups and Grandparent Meet-Ups

Support for AutismUp Parent Members and Grandparents!

Share your stories, questions, and feelings about being a parent of a child with ASD. These meet-ups are for parents to connect with other parents going through the same challenges and joys that autism brings. Parents share success stories and give advice to those who are struggling. We hope you are able to join us at these meet-ups to develop an invaluable network of support. If you have questions, please contact Kelly Conlon at navigator@autismup.org.
