Receiving an autism diagnosis is a critical first step towards developing an active care plan that best supports affected individuals. This is a sensitive time for families, who often have questions about what such a diagnosis means for their loved one. Autism Speaks will be hosting a free, three-part series for families and care providers to help answer questions and to navigate next steps. Topics vary across the three sessions, but all include the personal experiences of parents, self-advocates, topic experts, and other members of the autism community.
