DC Peers is working to create innovative social growth and learning opportunities that respect neurodiversity. In our free and low-cost programs, we bring together autistic and neurotypical teenagers and young adults to socialize and learn from each other. Our goal is to empower our autistic peers to navigate their social worlds with both self-respect and an understanding of others, while also enlightening our neurotypical peers about autism and connected neurological differences.
