Social Skills for Young Adults: Autistim Spectrum
Young adults with a diagnosis of ASD frequently possess the academic skills and innate intelligence to succeed in college. Unfortunately, deficits in social skills can make their experience in a new social setting miserable! If someone you know struggles with social skills, forming/maintaining relationships, job-seeking, self-advocacy, finding a comfortable fit in leisure activities and would like to develop independent living skills, this is the right group. Members may express their thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe,nurturing environment, as well as give and provide constructive feedback from the leader and peers.
