Weekly Support Group

We’ve had problems with those who want to follow the path of hatred and animosity towards those who they view as being in the “enemy camp” trying to hijack our meetings. I would describe them as wanting nothing more than a “war council” so they can publicly attack those whom they view as their enemies and transform society into exactly what they think is would be. The core supporters of the AAC rejects this path.

Therefore, all attendees are required to abide by all of the pledges listed in the AAC’s Pre-Activity Readings: https://autismambassadorscorps.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/pre-activity-readings.pdf
Those who refuse to fulfill these pledges will be asked to leave the meeting.

Most Autism community support groups are basically topical discussions. This specific meeting is what AA would refer to as a "sharing" meeting. We learn about ourselves primarily through discussing how are week has gone, what we are going through right now and what we can do to improve our quality of life. We can also talk about what we’ve learned through attending discussion meetings, as well as other educational sources, and figure out how that information applies to us specifically.

This meeting is for everyone in the Autism community. One of the biggest problems that I've observed since being diagnosed in 2009 is that there's a lot of misunderstanding between Autistics & non-Autistics. The only way that we can gain mutual understand of each other is to sit together and discuss these issues.

Jason Bunn-Parsons, a Certified Recovery/Peer Support Specialist, has developed an Autistic Self-Improvement/Advocacy mentorship program. It’s designed to 1st build up our self-confidence & self-esteem that’s necessary to improve our quality of life by helping us become all that we are capable of. This will in turn provide us with a solid foundation for effective self-advocacy in order to instill confidence in those around us to give us more opportunities to do what we do best. This will in turn boost our self-confidence & self-esteem even more, resulting in a self-perpetuating positive feedback loop.
