Resources for Autism Families - Contra Costa County

AS/NLD Parent Support Group
Started by a parent who saw the need for a forum through which parents could share resources, ask for support, and simply coalesce around the need we have for an understanding affinity group. This support group is comprised of parents of teens or young adults with Aspergers Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorder, PDD-NOS, NLD, or similar conditions. Monthly meetings are held from 7-9:00 p.m. at Springstone School, 1035 Carol Lane, Lafayette. The 2019 meeting schedule is as follows: January 28; February 25; March 25; April 29; May 20.
