Making friends, navigating conversations, understanding social situations, and feeling comfortable around other people can sometimes feel complicated. This group provides autistic teens with a supportive, low-pressure space to build social skills, practice connection, and learn alongside other teens who may have similar experiences.
Over the course of this 8-week group, participants will explore topics such as starting and maintaining conversations, reading social cues, navigating friendships, handling misunderstandings, expressing needs and boundaries, managing social anxiety or uncertainty, and building confidence in social situations.
Rather than simply talking about social skills, the group will provide opportunities to practice them in a supportive environment. Teens will be encouraged to participate at their own comfort level, share their experiences, learn from one another, and discover strategies that feel authentic to them.
This is a closed group, meaning the same participants will meet together each week for the duration of the group. The group will have a maximum of 8 participants to allow for meaningful connection and individual participation.
