Autistic Self-Identity Group
At WonderTree, we believe that understanding and embracing who you are is an important part of personal growth. Our Autistic Self-Identity Group provides a supportive and inclusive space for individuals to explore their strengths, experiences, and identity in a positive way. Through discussion, shared experiences, and self-reflection, participants are encouraged to build confidence, self-advocacy skills, and a strong sense of belonging within themselves and their community.
VIRTUAL Autistic Self-Identity Group
We are excited to offer WonderTree’s neuroaffirming Virtual Autistic Self-Identity Group, designed to support autistic youth ages 9 to18 in exploring identity, building confidence, and connecting with peers in a safe and welcoming space. This virtual group provides opportunities for participants to better understand themselves, share experiences, and develop meaningful social connections with others who “get it.”
​
The group is facilitated by our licensed Occupational Therapist, Kim Hanson and includes contributions from a neurodivergent guest speaker, helping ensure authentic representation and lived-experience perspectives.
