Has anyone had luck finding in person support groups, or meet ups? I am struggling to find them. I have just been using Google. I don’t have Facebook.

Using the platform Autism speaks you can find that many states have their own page dedicated to support groups as well
For autism services near Creedmoor, NC, focus on statewide organizations like the Autism Society of NC (ASNC) and TEACCH Autism Program, which offer diagnosis, therapy, respite, and family support, often through Medicaid (Innovations Waiver, 1915(i)) or private pay. Look for local providers offering ABA, speech, OT (Occupational Therapy), and social skills training, potentially found via these main groups or through searches for nearby cities like Raleigh/Durham, as Creedmoor is in Granville County.
