Parenting Autistic Children with Love and Acceptance Facebook Group

A community for parents of autistic children who choose to love and accept their autistic children. A place to learn from the writing of Autistic adults. A place where parents can discuss supporting and accommodating autistic children.

This is a space to give a sense of community to parents that choose to parent Autistic children with love and acceptance. This is an Autistic safe space--meaning that bashing and demeaning Autistic people is strictly not allowed. All discussions will be moderated to that affect. In this space, parents are encouraged to discuss supporting and accommodating Autistic children respectfully, advocating for neurodiversity, and the bountiful joys of raising Autistic children.
