PNCC Support Group – Parents of Neurodiverse College/Career Young Adults

January 18, 2021 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

Neurodiverse means more than autism these days; it also includes ADHD, gifted, learning differences, anxiety and mood disorders, etc.

For parents of neurodiverse adult children: collegebound, in college or graduated, underemployed, and/or building professional careers. Like a book group but better! We attend the free monthly Stanford Special Interest Group for Neurodiversity speaker webinar organized by the Stanford Neurodiversity Project (SNP) via Zoom; and one week later we get together on the PHP NCC support group meeting via Zoom to discuss how the topic works in our lives.

Our goal is to support each other to successfully weather the ebb and flow of wins, setbacks, and societal/economic changes (COVID-19!) while in relationship with our neurodiverse adult children.

Stanford Special Interest Group for Neurodiversity speaker webinar topics: 

  • Career development

  • Independent living options

  • Friendship and intimate relationships

  • Mental health tools

  • And more!
