At Autism Family Support, we understand that raising an autistic child can be a journey filled with both beautiful moments and overwhelming challenges. That’s why we created our Parent to Parent Support program—a heartfelt space where mums, dads, and caregivers can come together, feel heard, and truly connect with others who get it.
This isn’t just another support group. It’s a community of understanding, built on real-life experiences, shared wisdom, and unconditional support. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, dealing with daily routines, or celebrating small victories, here you’ll find people who’ve walked a similar path—and are ready to walk alongside you.
Through regular group meetups, friendly chats over coffee, online sessions, and occasional guest speakers, we offer a mix of emotional support and practical advice. Parents talk openly about topics like schooling, therapies, sibling dynamics, self-care, and more—all in a safe, judgment-free space.
Many of our families tell us this is where they found their tribe—a place where they no longer felt alone, where tears turned into laughter, and where long-lasting friendships began.
