"My Child Just Got Diagnosed with Autism" Facebook Support Group

Are you a parent whose child was recently diagnosed with Autism?

If so, I have a new online parent support group I can't wait to tell you about.

I have recently created the "My Child Just Got Diagnosed with Autism" Facebook parent support group.

I created this group because I have worked with numerous families who feel overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, scared, and stressed when their child receives a diagnosis of Autism.

Many parents tell me they don't know where to begin when their child receives a diagnosis of Autism. 

If this sounds like you, make sure you join our Free Facebook group here where we discuss steps you can take when your child receives an Autism diagnosis to reduce your stress and help you feel empowered.

Specifically in this group, we will discuss:
  • What first steps to take when your child receives an Autism diagnosis
  • Strategies to help you feel empowered as a parent of a child with Autism
  • Parenting strategies that help decrease your stress associated with parenting children with Autism
  • Strategies to help you and your spouse / partner see "eye to eye" and be on the same page when parenting your child with Autism
  • Strategies so your family can go on community outings, go to restaurants, and go on trips without your child with Autism having meltdowns
  • What therapies and services are available for your child with Autism and which ones your child may benefit from

I created this group because I wanted to create a safe and supportive place where parents can support each other as they learn more about their children and Autism.

I encourage you to ask questions in the group so we can learn from each other, support each other, and grow together.


I'm headed over to the group now to see how everyone is doing. Simply click this link or search "My Child  Just Got Diagnosed with Autism" on Facebook. I hope to see you over there!
