AANE offers two types of support groups for teens with an Asperger /autism spectrum or similar neurodiverse profiles.
- “Open” groups are free and may have different participants joining from session to session
- “Closed” groups are fee-based* and have the same participants for a set number of sessions
*For programs and events that require a fee, financial assistance is available and no one will be turned away for their inability to pay. Discounted registration buttons can be found on some registration pages. To inquire about financial aid for a program or event, contact events@aane.org.
