Social Group Opportunities

Looking for social opportunities with other autistic adults?

Here are some options for social opportunities and support groups for autistic adults. Social activities are a great way to meet peers and get advice from other autistic people while having fun! Many of these spaces openly welcome self-diagnosed individuals, so no need to worry about having an official diagnosis first. Check out our resource center for more social group opportunities, both in-person and virtual.
