We love you guys too! THANK YOU so much for believing in what we do. It is *not* an exaggeration to say we couldn't do this without your financial help. I look forward to welcoming more adults with autism into our group. If you are reading this and know someone 16+ who needs friends and fun things to do while maintaining and/or improving social skills, please contact me. <3
