Autism Support Groups in New York City

You don't have to figure autism out alone. NYC has a deep network of parent support groups — some autism-specific, some for any disability — where you can trade advice, vent, and learn how other families navigate the system. Many meet monthly, and several run in Spanish as well as English.
