NEW EVENTS: ADHD & Autism Class, 2024 New Year Support Group & More

October 13, 2023

We have 4 new events open to the MOTS community with multiple dates and times available:

ADHD & Autism

  • Topics covered: similarities and differences between autism and ADHD, AuDHD paradoxes, what living with AuDHD feels like, support strategies for yourself and loved ones, AuDHD strengths, and active rest. This 90-minute session includes a teaching and guided discussion as well as a year of access to the MOTS private online community. Discussion questions are emailed out in advance.

  • Topics covered: holiday stressors, support strategies for holiday events, setting and communicating healthy boundaries, and identifying signs of an impending meltdown. This 90-minute session includes a teaching and guided discussion as well as a year of access to the MOTS private online community. Discussion questions are emailed out in advance.

  • In November and December there are multiple openings for groups that meet every week for a month to discuss life on the autism spectrum. Discussion is based on questions sent in by group members. This group is a great opportunity to explore thoughts and ideas you have regarding your own autistic experiences while making connections with other like-minded individuals. These groups also come with a year of access to the MOTS private online community.

  • This group has the same members for 4 weeks and is focused on helping each other set small, manageable goals that will improve quality of life/self esteem. Weekly reflection questions will be provided, and group time will be spent brainstorming, clarifying personal wants and needs, and defining measurable goals with action points. This group also comes with a year of access to the MOTS private online community.


Scholarship Opportunity

A generous donor recently made it possible for me to offer several scholarships to individuals in the MOTS community who are interested in attending one of the above events but cannot due to lack of financial means.

How to apply: Determine which event you are interested in and the specific date/time it is offered. Email scholarships@momonthespectrum.life with the subject line "Scholarship request." In the body of the email include:

  • How much scholarship money you need in order to make the event possible for you (Priority will be given to community members who are able to contribute at least a small amount. This is because historically people who request 100% financial support will often ghost, miss meetings, or not participate fully. I know this is generally speaking and does not apply to everyone. Full scholarships are still available and will be given. Just be authentic about what you need and that's enough).

  • Confirm that you are available for the specific date/time of the event, including all meeting dates if you are inquiring about a group that meets weekly.

  • If you are not requesting a full scholarship, confirm you are able to provide the remaining cost of the event.

Example: I am interested in joining the 2024 New Year Support Group that meets on Wednesdays at 10AM CDT. I would need a $50 scholarship in order to attend. I am available on all listed event dates: 1/7, 1/10, 1/17, 1/24. I am able to contribute the remaining $60.

Thank you for your patience with this process. I am still fine-tuning it, but I feel this approach will help me be able to offer support to the highest number of community members who will show up and commit authentically to the experience.


I'm looking forward to seeing new and returning faces at each of these events! As always, feel free to respond to this email with questions and/or suggestions for future events.

With love and gratitude,

Taylor
