Grupos de apoyo para el autismo
Nos esforzamos por mantener una lista extensa de personas, agencias y organizaciones que ayudan a las personas, familias y profesionales que trabajan o viven con el trastorno del espectro autista.
Hay varias agencias gubernamentales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro que brindan información sobre grupos de apoyo para el autismo. Algunas de estas organizaciones albergan grupos de apoyo y otras pueden conectarlo con el tipo de grupo adecuado para sus necesidades. No garantizamos la calidad de los servicios proporcionados por ningún individuo u organización que se detalla a continuación. Haga clic en su estado para un acceso rápido.

Organizaciones gubernamentales
Aquí hay algunas organizaciones gubernamentales con las que puede comunicarse para ayudarlo a encontrar información sobre apoyo para el autismo, que incluye grupos de apoyo:
Información sobre el trastorno del espectro autista de los CDC : Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) realizan un seguimiento de las condiciones que afectan a los estadounidenses, desde la diabetes y el abuso de sustancias hasta las enfermedades mentales y las condiciones del desarrollo como el autismo. Su información sobre el autismo proporciona una visión general sólida de este trastorno del desarrollo, por lo que puede leer más sobre la condición de su hijo.
También proporcionan una página, Enlaces a otros sitios web, con amplia información sobre grupos que ofrecen apoyo, financiación e información de investigación. La página incluye listados de grupos de apoyo mutuo, tanto en persona como en línea.
Blog de la Oficina de Educación Especial y Servicios de Rehabilitación : esta página proporciona mucha información, historias personales y entrevistas, y enfoques de apoyo para padres y tutores de niños con autismo. Empieza aquí a entender que no estás solo. Puede ser un punto de partida para encontrar apoyo a través de la guardería o la escuela de su hijo.
Localizador de servicios de salud conductual : La Administración de Servicios de Salud Mental y Abuso de Sustancias (SAMHSA, por sus siglas en inglés) tiene una herramienta de búsqueda en línea para ayudarlo a encontrar tratamientos conductuales para muchas afecciones, incluidos grupos de apoyo para padres de niños con autismo.
Organizaciones sin fines de lucro y comunitarias
Las organizaciones comunitarias y sin fines de lucro brindan mucho apoyo a los niños y adultos con autismo, junto con sus familias. Estos son algunos de los principales grupos sin fines de lucro que ofrecen apoyo a familias de personas autistas:
Autism Speaks: Esta organización ofrece una variedad de información y servicios para ayudar a las personas con autismo y sus familias, incluido un grupo de apoyo en línea. Si bien muchas personas prefieren reunirse en persona, grupos de apoyo en línea ofrecer un nivel de anonimato, conveniencia y diversidad que una reunión en persona no puede proporcionar. Es posible que pueda encontrar más ayuda para su situación específica o conectarse con familias que atraviesan problemas similares en todo el mundo.
Centro de información y recursos para padres: esta organización ofrece capacitaciones en los 50 estados, para que los padres de niños pequeños con discapacidades específicas, incluido el autismo, puedan obtener la ayuda y el apoyo que necesitan para brindar un entorno seguro y de apoyo para sus hijos. Estas capacitaciones puede ayudarlo a conocer personas con ideas afines que también están pasando por una experiencia similar.
