Autism
Support Groups in Hillsborough County, FL

You Don't Have to
Navigate This Alone

At Little Village Schoolhouse and Resource Center, we believe no one should have to navigate life alone. Our planned support groups will provide safe, welcoming, and neurodiversity-affirming spaces where Autistic and neurodivergent individuals, parents, caregivers, partners, and family members can connect with others who share similar experiences.

Too often, support groups focus on fixing, changing, or grieving neurodivergent people. Our groups will be different. We are committed to creating communities rooted in acceptance, mutual respect, lived experience, and the belief that every person deserves to belong exactly as they are.

Whether you are seeking connection, practical resources, understanding, or simply a place where you do not have to explain yourself, our support groups will offer opportunities to learn, share, and grow alongside others who understand.

Support Groups
We're Planning to Build

We are currently seeking donations, sponsors, and community partners to help launch these support groups and keep them affordable and accessible for the families who need them most.

Your support will help fund meeting spaces, accessibility accommodations, virtual platforms, materials, scholarships, and facilitator training. Together, we can create opportunities for connection, belonging, and mutual support throughout our community.

If you believe that everyone deserves a place where they are understood, accepted, and valued, we invite you to help us build that village.
