Join us for an Autism Awareness Month lecture Autism, Mental Health and “Failure to Launch”: What’s neuroscience got to do with it? April 24, 2026 12:00 – 1:30 PM ET Zoom Presenters: Christopher Kye, MD and Cheryl Checkers, LMHC-QS, NCC Presentation Description: Autistic adolescents and young adults often face significant challenges in adaptively responding to the demands of adult life. A failed launch attempt can increase the risk of psychiatric comorbidities often requiring intensive and complex treatment. An understanding of brain development and maturation in late adolescence and early adulthood provides a lens for understanding the critical developmental stage of transition to adulthood. This presentation will provide an overview of the autistic brain and the mental health challenges often experienced by autistic adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder level 1 in the context of transition to adulthood. A case study of a young adult patient’s journey to a successful relaunch will be discussed. Register Here: /support-and-education/presentations/general-meetings/

Embracing Neurodiversity: Supporting families with the decision of why, when, and how to talk to their children about their autism diagnosis. April 20, 2026 6:00 - 7:30 PM ET Zoom Presenter: Kimberly Rivieccio, Ed.D, LMHC, NCC, ASDCS Presentation Description: Children, adolescents and young adults who are aware of their autism diagnosis often feel empowered, become strong advocates for themselves, and develop both an understanding and acceptance of why they may feel different than their neurotypical peers. However, the decision to disclose a diagnosis is often one of the most difficult decisions for parents and families to navigate. This presentation explores research-based information on how to help families decide when and how to discuss this topic with their child. The common concerns, hesitations, and misconceptions commonly identified when withholding the diagnosis will be explored. Additionally, common tips and best ways to communicate a diagnosis will be presented. Register /support-and-education/presentations/general-meetings/
