Did your child recently receive an autism diagnosis?
Are you an adult who was recently diagnosed?
We want to help. The Autism Society of North Carolina improves the lives of children and adults with autism and supports their families. Let us partner with you on your journey.
Click the button above and sign up to receive our Welcome Packet by mail. You will also be contacted by one of our Autism Resource Specialists. They will connect you to resources and help you begin your journey after getting an autism diagnosis. Our Autism Resource Specialists are all parents of children or adults with autism themselves, so they have firsthand knowledge and a unique understanding of what you are going through. They also are trained professionals with many years of experience, and their assistance is free of charge. Please also register to attend the nearest “After the Diagnosis: Get Answers, Get Help, Get Going!” workshop or view the webinar series, “Understanding the Diagnosis” at your convenience.
