Resources at UGA
Peer Support Group
The peer support group serves as a weekly opportunity where individuals with autism can express their concerns to other adults on the autism spectrum. In this group, we discuss topics that are of needs and/or interest to the group members. Topics have included communication, relationships and dating, time management, self-esteem, disclosure, social nuances, and dealing with stress.
Campus Coaches
Campus Coaches pairs a UGA student with ASD with a veteran UGA student who will assist their peers on activities such as navigating campus areas, navigating public transportation, social skill advancement (e.g., communicating with friends and professors) or just to meet occasionally for coffee or a slice of pizza. Any interested UGA undergraduate students with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder can participate.

Adult Autism Resources
We have assembled a list of professionals in the Athens and surrounding area that provide services such as therapy services, diagnostic services, and other resources. This list has been created alongside autistic advocates, who have reviewed and added resources that they have had positive experiences with.
