Autism Support Groups in Rochester

You do not have to navigate this alone, and Rochester has a genuine local autism community on top of the statewide organizations. That combination - a local group plus statewide advocacy - is a real strength for a mid-size city.

Support comes in a few forms: peer groups where you can talk with other parents, advocacy organizations that help you navigate schools and services, and groups for autistic people themselves.

This page points you to the Rochester and statewide options and explains what each is good for.
