You got an autism diagnosis; Now what?

Dad and young autistic son
You just walked out of an appointment with the word "autism" ringing in your ears and a stack of papers in your hand, thinking, "Okay... now what?"
If that's you, Spectrum Connection is here for you. We're a local neurodiversity support group, and our whole job is to take you by the hand and walk this road with you, step by step, in plain language, right here in our own community.
You didn't cause this. Your child isn't broken. You don't have to figure it all out by Friday, and you sure don't have to do it alone.
Contact Spectrum Connection at 870-404-3468 or visit Spectrum Connection of Arkansas if you've just gotten a diagnosis (or think one is coming). Also, go to our The Spectrum Connection-Arkansas and/or join our private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18QpunibM9/ to follow along as we share simple, real life posts to help you find your footing.
