AutismBC Meets: Supporting Adults

Supporting Adults brings together families of autistic adults to share experiences, challenges, and resources. This group offers support for caregivers as they navigate evolving roles, both for themselves and for their adult children, including the transition into adulthood, supported decision-making, housing, employment, and ongoing care. 

Date: Second Wednesday of each month 

Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

Location: Online (Zoom)

Registration is required to attend

Who it’s for:

Caregivers of autistic adults (18+) who are continuing to navigate support needs, independence, and adulthood. 

Session Topic: Acceptance 

Join us for a welcoming, low-barrier peer-led discussion exploring what autism acceptance looks like within family systems. This session is designed for adult caregivers and family members, focusing on practical ways to foster acceptance, understanding, and connection at home.

AutismBC Meets — Building Connection and Community

Together, we are stronger. Discover the power of community to uplift, educate, and support one another.

AutismBC Meets are peer-to-peer support groups designed to help you build community. Whether you are a parent or caregiver of a newly diagnosed child, managing a child’s ongoing support needs, exploring your evolving role as a caregiver of an adult, seeking connections with other professionals, or discovering your own neurotype, there is an AutismBC Meets group for you.

AutismBC Meets is a peer-led support space, not a clinical or crisis service. If you are seeking connection, clarity, empathy, and a deeper understanding, this is the place for you.

All AutismBC Meets are held online via Zoom, making it easy to join from anywhere in B.C.
