Spectrum Autism Support Group (Spectrum) was established in the fall of 1998 for families, friends and teachers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) within Gwinnett County, Georgia and the surrounding areas. Two moms, Rochelle Geiman (Stone) and Claire Dees founded the group and realized there was a big need for support when over 100 attended the first meeting in October 1998. It was established as a parent run group, whose mission is to provide support, education and resources for individuals and families impacted by autism in our community and beyond.

Spectrum incorporated in 2000 and received non-profit status in 2002. Spectrum maintains a web site with links to the group’s activities and other resources within the metropolitan area. Spectrum’s Facebook page has over 20,000 followers.
