GRASP Support Groups

GRASP offers two kinds of peer support:

• Online discussion groups
• Regional support groups (that meet in person)

The majority of our groups are for Adults themselves who are on the spectrum; a few of our groups are for Teens on the spectrum, and a few groups are for family members &/or clinicians. We add new groups all the time!
