Hi & Welcome to our Online Support Group :)

The focus of this group is on wellness support for autistic women, it is a safe space in which to explore and understand your neuro-type and living and thriving as a neurodivergent person in a predominantly neurotypical world.

This group's primary purpose is for connection, support and encouragement. We want to keep this group a SAFE SPACE to learn and grow together as neuro-spicy people.

Often our neuro-differences, social differences and support needs make it challenging to easily join neurotypical social spaces in our communities. We may feel "othered", judged and misunderstood by well-meaning friends and family who just don't get the unique challenges we face.

At Eunoia Consulting, I prioritize family-centered care and recognize the importance of meeting the individual needs of each family member to promote wellness. I embrace diversity in all its forms, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, people from different cultures and races, those with disabilities, and those with different neurotypes and genders. We believe that by fostering an accepting and inclusive environment that values our differences, we can create safe places for our children and our families that benefits us all.
