Autism Society of Southern Arizona — Adult & Family Peer Support Groups
The Autism Society of Southern Arizona (ASSA) hosts a range of free, peer-led support groups for autistic adults and their families in the Tucson area. These groups are run by volunteers and community members with lived experience — not therapists — providing a genuine peer space to connect, share, and be understood.
Adult Diagnosed Group — Free, No Registration Needed
For adults who were diagnosed with autism as an adult, are self-diagnosed, or are exploring a diagnosis. Run entirely by autistic adults, this group meets in a relaxed, low-pressure format where you are never required to speak if you’re not comfortable.
- When: 1st Saturday of every month, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Where: Autism Society Office, 2302 E Speedway Suite 112, Tucson, AZ 85719
- Cost: Free — no registration required, come when you’re ready
Parent & Caregiver Peer Support Group
For parents and caregivers of children on the autism spectrum of all ages and abilities. A peer-led space to share experiences, find resources, and connect with others who truly understand the day-to-day of autism parenting. Not a licensed therapy group or a parenting class.
