ASO sponsored Social Skills Class for Adults from 6:30-8pm at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 1300 Pearl St. (SW corner of 13th & Pearl).The Lane County Chapter of the Autism Society of Oregon supports a Social Skills Class and Scheduled Social Outings on alternating months, in response to interest by participants in KindTree – Autism Rocks’ Support Group for adults on the autism spectrum. The classes and outings are designed for adults with high-functioning autism or Aspergers who can get around independently in the community.
During the Social Skills Class, conversation skills will be taught, role-modeled and practiced. The class is taught by Doris Germain, an Autism Specialist in the Linn-Benton School District. She has taught social skills at Autism Training and Support in Eugene. Her skill in teaching social skills has been learned from 20 years of working with people on the spectrum. No support groups or social skills activities in August.
The Social Skills Class is taking place on the 3rd Monday of alternating months from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on 13th and Pearl in Eugene. The Social Skills Class will decide on the activity for the following month’s Social Outing.
The Social Outing is taking place on alternating months on the third Friday evening of the month from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. or during the day on Saturday, depending on the activity chosen by the previous month’s Social Skills Class.

Autism Rocks Festival of Art For All – 2020!
This event was a great success last year (see last year’s photos and video here) so we and our community partners are doing it again.
“By breaking down these barriers and allowing all kinds of people to gather together, laugh together, and express themselves together, it forms a positive and accepting space where these differences no longer define us.” This is what KindTree – Autism Rocks is all about!!
We are still developing all the details, so save the date and come back soon.
If you are an artist who would like to participate, keep reading…
Dear Artists,
KindTree is now accepting submissions of artwork to be considered for the 2020 Festival of Art for All.
The submission deadline is April 3, 2020.
Submission Form is HERE.
The exhibit will take place on Saturday, May 2, at Whirled Pies, 199 West 8th Ave, Eugene, from 1:00-5:00pm.
This is an opportunity for artists on the autism spectrum to be recognized for their artwork, have fun, and even make money if the artwork sells. Visual arts make up an important part of the festival. There will also be live performance art occurring at the event.
A few rules:
Artists must be on the autism spectrum.
We accept creations in painting, drawing, photography, and other media.
Submitting artwork gives KindTree permission to market the artwork and its reprints for exhibitions, online and in other venues.
There is limited space for displaying art, and although volunteers will try to show every piece of work, some may not be shown. Artists will be notified if their work will be on display at the festival.
If an artist’s work is sold, the artist will be paid 90% of the sales price.
Framed pieces must be in attractive, durable frames with hanging wire on the back. Canvases without frames may sell more easily if there is hanging wire on the back.
Pieces that do not sell can remain in our collection for future exhibits, or will need to be picked up no later than May 9, 2020. Please call or email Sherie Maddox to arrange pick-up at 360-808-3303 or sheriealicemad@gmail.com.
