Welcome

Welcome to the Wake County Autism Society (WCAS)! We offer support and events for Wake County families and individuals affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Wake County Autism Society (WCAS) is often confused with the Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC), also headquartered in Wake County. We are separate organizations with different missions:

•ASNC works toward increasing autism awareness statewide. For details, visit the ASNC website.

•WCAS offers a number of support options for Wake County residents affected by an ASD. Visit our About WCAS page for more information about us.

If your child has been recently diagnosed or if you are new to our area, please visit our Support Groups page and the Events Calendar to find a group and its meeting times and locations that will help you.

New Support Group in Apex
This group is organized by Karen Beavers.

"I taught for seven years at Adams elementary as the preschool teacher for children with autism.  Now I am in the certification process for Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) - (www.rdiconnect.com). This support group is open to current families working with me at Developmental Discoveries, LLC and for anyone interested in learning more about RDI and connecting with other families who have a child with autism. This group will meet every 2nd Tuesday night from 6:30pm-8pm beginning April 8th. Light snacks will be provided. If you have any questions, you can contact me by email developmentaldiscoveries@gmail.com or by phone
