What is myLIFE?

The Emory University myLIFE Program supports adults with an autism spectrum profile (18+ years of age). myLIFE's therapeutic social engagement groups and additional small-group and 1:1 activities create opportunities for personal growth as group members engage in meaningful communication, social interaction, and other wellness activities alongside volunteer peer mentors. The myLIFE program serves as a model of building a supportive, neurodiverse community across the Emory University campus.

What is Emory Friends for myLIFE?

Emory Friends for myLIFE is an organization on campus that brings together Emory students with peer-aged adults in the myLIFE program at the Emory Autism Center. By meeting with the members each week throughout the semester, we help them to build friendships and communication skills while also promoting inclusion and neurodiverse communities.
