This is a great fit for adults who participate in a "Transition Program" through the ISD. Because this social is designed for ASD teens/young adults who are more classically affected by autism and who are not yet functionally independent, parents/caregiver are required to stay and assist them. Structured activities as well as self-selection activities are available to increase socialization and help foster friendships. Social leaders have a proven track record of supervised volunteer experiences at ASRC and are background checked. Cost to attend is $5 per person.
