Surviving
The Holidays?
It can be done!
Holidays and extended family can be
joyous, but also stressful. Throw in
autism and people who are new to it, and the stress
factor can go way up. If you would
like your holiday season to be the best it can be, check out this Surviving the Holidays guide full of very
practical tips and strategies. |

Support FACT: Consider Donating Lending
Library Materials
Do you have books
or other autism-related materials that you are no longer using? Consider
donating them to our lending library.
It is also possible to retain
ownership and make the items available for sharing. The materials that helped you out as you
began your journey in the world of autism can help out another family that is
just beginning its journey. Materials
can be obtained and returned outside of our meetings. Contact HopkinsFACT@comcast.net or simply
bring materials you wish to donate / share to a meeting. |
