Looking to connect with others in the autism community? Look no
further than Autism Speaks Facebook groups

Autism Speaks' private Facebook groups are a safe space where

get advice, find friends and seek or offer support. Find groups for
autistic adults, parents who just received an autism diagnosis for
their child, members of the community navigating the transition to
