Upcoming
Events

ASGA events and fundraisers bring the Greater Akron autism community together for education, networking, and fun. Events range from the Annual Autism Summit Conference to sensory-friendly days with community partners to our largest annual fundraiser, the Autism 5k Run & Walk. Events and fundraisers offer families, caregivers, educators, other professionals, and individuals with autism a safe, comfortable place to be a part of the community and support ASGA's programs and services. Money raised for ASGA stays local to support those affected by autism in Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit and Wayne counties.

ASGA is excited to offer a Special Topics Series featuring individuals sharing with you their lived experiences. Join us for these engaging, informal chats…

COLLEGE, SOCIAL ANXIETY AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS

Zach Strickler is the Neurodiversity Coordinator at Kent State University and an ASGA Board Member.  Zach will have an open conversation about his experiences with college students, Autism, and social anxiety.  College can be a great opportunity to leave high school behind and make new friends, but sometimes it takes discussing the new variables that come with college life.  As Zach puts it, “Much like a roller coaster the stress is worth it if you know you will have fun!”
