For Children

Your child’s recent Autism diagnosis may feel overwhelming but, within these pages, you will find guidance, understanding, and a wealth of resources to support you. We understand the mix of emotions that come with this diagnosis and the journey ahead might seem daunting, but it is also an incredible opportunity for growth and learning. While some of the information may not directly apply to your current circumstances, it’s designed to accompany you throughout your journey. Reference this guide regularly and try not to tackle everything all at once. Instead, choose one aspect to concentrate on and approach the journey step by step. Should you require assistance in determining your next steps and prioritizing tasks, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Helpline.

While your path may be your own, you can also find great support on this journey from families on the same road. You are not alone, and we encourage you to seek support.

The Autism Society of Greater Akron is your partner on this journey.
