Collaborating with our Community

Northern Driftless Autism Support Group

 Northern Driftless Autism Support Group - a partnership with the Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin. Creating connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with resources needed to live fully 

 

WHO: Northern Driftless Support Group - in partnership with the Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin, is made up of autistic adults, parents, peers, providers, and others who care about someone with Autism.

 

WHAT: Support Groups for Autistic Adults and Parents/Caregivers of Autistic Individuals. 

 

1) We have an online support group is for adults with autism (ages 18 and over). It’s an opportunity to meet other autistic adults in a casual & welcoming environment, to share experiences, resources, challenges, triumphs, and to lessen feelings of isolation. The group is peer-led and meets every other Thursday at 6 PM. 

 

2) We also have an online support group for parents/caregivers of autistic individuals. This virtual group is a bi-weekly opportunity for parents, grandparents, and other caregivers of autistic children/adults to network, share experiences, and learn from one another. This group is also peer-led and meets virtually every other Monday at 6 PM. 

 

WHEN: Our support groups are all virtual and the dates/times can be found on our Facebook page! 

 

WHERE: While we primarily offer support to individuals in La Crosse, Vernon, Monroe, Juneau, Adams, Waushara, Marquette, and Green Lake counties - our groups are open to anyone in the country needing support. 

 

WHY: Recognizing a critical need in the region, members of the North Driftless Support Group have come together to support local families in western-central Wisconsin. To address the lack of resources, they have launched an autism support group, providing much-needed guidance, connection, and understanding. In areas with limited services, families often feel isolated and uncertain about where to turn for help. This support group aims to create a welcoming community, offering a safe space to share experiences, access valuable information, and build meaningful connections. By uniting parents, caregivers, and individuals with autism, the group fosters empowerment, advocates for improved services, and works toward a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone affected by autism.

"The La Crosse Autism Foundation is an exceptional organization and has been gracious in assisting our family. Our son, at the time of his diagnosis was non-communitive which was very frustrating for him, as well as us as parents. The La Crosse Autism Foundation kindly donated the funds to purchase an application on an electronic device to assist him with communicating through the use of pictures, these specific applications are very expensive. Our son immediately used the application and it promoted his language development significantly. He is now 8 years old and fully verbal. This gift not only relieved distress as parents but most importantly gave our son his voice. We are forever thankful to the La Crosse Autism Foundation and all they do for the community."
