Rediscovering Self: A Virtual Support Group for Late-Diagnosed Autistic Adults
Have you recently discovered you're autistic — or are you revisiting your identity with fresh eyes? Join us for a 10-session virtual support group offering light psychoeducation, meaningful connection, and a neurodivergent-affirming space to explore life after diagnosis. Topics include masking, burnout, relationships, unmasking, and building self-understanding. Facilitated by late-diagnosed Autistic therapist and Heal ATL founder Brittany Hewitt, this group welcomes autistic adults of all genders to show up exactly as they are.
What to Expect Each Week:
Week 1: Finding Ourselves, Finding Each Other
Our group will start building safety and community around shared lived experience. We will establish group norms, begin introductions, and reflect on the journey to diagnosis.
Week 2: Masking, Burnout, & Unmasking
We will explore the impact of masking and pathways to authenticity.
Week 3: Grieving What Could Have Been
This week, the group will explore what dreams, relationships, or opportunities feel lost or altered by not having this knowledge of our diagnosis sooner.
Week 4: Honoring Our Sensory Needs
The group will validate sensory experiences, reclaim stimming, and discuss ways to prevent and recover from overwhelm.
Week 5: Social Communication & Relationships
Building on previous weeks, the group will discuss authentic communication, relationship dynamics, and boundaries.
Week 6: Internalized Ableism & Self-Compassion
Our group will challenge internalized shame and nurture kindness toward self.
Week 7: Autistic Identity and Intersectionality
We will explore how autism intersects with race, gender, sexuality, class, culture, and other identities.
Week 8: Romantic & Sexual Identity as an Autistic Person
The group will create space to explore romantic, sexual, and relationship identities in a judgment-free, inclusive environment.
Week 9: Joy, Identity & Authenticity
This week, the group will celebrate authenticity and discuss ways to build autistic joy into your routine.
Week 10: Closure & Gratitude
Time to reflect, affirm growth, and prepare for continued connection.
