Support

Sometimes it helps just to talk to others who understand or to get ideas about situations or issues we may have in common. Phone support is available from our information and referral specialist Monday through Friday, 9am to 2pm, call 414-427-9345, or email info@assew.org with questions.

We have two support groups, one for parents and another for adults on the spectrum.

Morning Coffee Parent’s Support Group is for all parents - including parents of adults on the spectrum. Held on the 1st or 2nd Thursday of each month (moved forward a week on holidays - watch the newsletter or online calendar) at the ASSEW office, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Coffee and pastries served. 

Adults On The Spectrum Support Group is for adults of all ages with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome. The group meets the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month at the ASSEW office from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Light refreshments served. 

The ASSEW office is at 9733 W. St. Martins Road (Hwy 100 just south of Loomis), Franklin, WI.

The following groups around the area are not affiliated with ASSEW, but we’re happy to tell you about them! Opinions expressed by group leaders and members are their own. ASSEW maintains an “options policy,” meaning we encourage every family to research and decide what works best for their family. We do not endorse any one approach or treatment as “what you must do.”
