Autismerica

Autismerica

Autismerica is a student organization for neurodiverse students to better educate themselves about COD and socialize in a safe and supportive environment. Our organization is now in its 13th year as a part of COD, and we have helped several chapters open throughout the country at various other higher education institutions throughout the years (but COD was the first). Meetings average between 80 to 120 participants and include board and video games, karaoke, creative opportunities and fun. Parents and community members are also welcome.
 

NOTE: The November 2024 meeting is pending.

Events

Due to construction on campus, there could be last-minute changes to meetings. Check this page frequently for updates.
