About Our Meetings         
The Union County Chapter of the Autism Society of NC holds monthly support meetings on the 3rd Thursday of the month for those affected by autism, whether you have a family member with autism or you are an educator of someone with autism or you yourself is affected by autism.   Each month we have a different topic of discussion and usually bring in an expert on that topic.  If there is a specific topic you would like us to address or you would like to be a speaker at one of our meetings, please feel free to email us at unioncountyautismsociety@yahoo.com.  Meetings will be held this year at Shining Light Baptist Church, 2541 Old Charlotte Hwy, Monroe in the Fellowship Hall at 7pm.

This year we will have a main topic but also a provider partner of the month that will give a short 10 minute presentation about the service they provide for our families.  The provider partner will be indicated in parenthesis on the agenda.
