High-Functioning Autism - Online Support Group
New group starting soon! Being neurodiverse, you may often feel misunderstood. It can be hard to make friends and navigate relationships because social situations often make you feel anxious, and it can be hard to read social cues. People might misinterpret things you say or do, and judge you negatively. You might try to fit in but are socially rejected at times. This may lead you to feel alone and isolated. This group will help you develop skills you can use to cope with stress and anxiety, relationships, sensory overload, gaining confidence and self acceptance. Meets online one hour week for 9 sessions.
