Faith can be an important aspect of life but participating in spiritual services can be challenging. I have heard from many families that they are seeking a faith based community that will accept their family and support their child with autism, behaviors and all. Some individuals shy away from attending services because they fear others won’t understand or they haven’t received a warm welcome in the past. We all deserve community and faith. A diagnosis should not become a barrier to something that is important to you. We know religion isn’t for everyone and that’s okay! Below are a list of faith based organizations from around the Valley that people have recommended. As always, do your research, try it out, and you will discover what ultimately works best for you.
