ASRC is proud to offer monthly socials at our center, G-4476 S. Dort Hwy, Burton. These socials serve a variety of ages and abilities and some are gender specific. They are an excellent way to socially connect with others living with ASD in our shared community. Each of our social groups are connected to a private Facebook page. These pages provide the most up to date information on our socials, such as date, time, and any schedule changes. To be granted access, you must first have a valid membership form and Needs Assessment on file and be our "friend" on our Facebook. Once we have a completed application on file, you will receive an invitation to the social that will best meet your needs.
