Membership & Autism Support Groups

A group of seven people sit in a circle of chairs facing toward each other. There are three women and four men of various ethnicities. In the background is a large wall of windows.

*COVID-19 Update: Most of our in-person support groups are currently meeting virtually, however, we are still accepting In-person GRASP Membership requests. Please reach out to us via our contact us page to request membership for a group in your area.*


Interested in becoming a GRASP member? Membership is free! We offer two types: Online membership and Regional In-person Support Group membership. To be considered for either memberships, please use the contact page to begin the intake process, https://grasp.org/contact.

Online Membership

Online Chat Groups
Our monthly and weekly chat groups are moderated by GRASP through our Zoom Chat Room and Patreon-only Facebook groups with Autistics, individuals on the Autism Spectrum, and Neurodivergent folx. These groups are an accessible way for fellow Autistic adults (age 18+) to get together to chat in a safe space.
