I acknowledge it can feel really scary coming along the first time because many of us have had such terrible experiences over our lives and naturally feel fearful of new social situations, but I can promise you you’ll be warmly welcomed.
We send out the monthly events info via email. If you’d like to be on the recipients list, please supply your email address to sarah@kaw.org.nz and I’ll add you. Any questions or if you want to meet up with one or two of us first so you know some friendly faces before you attend a group, just e-mail me and let me know :)
To join, you must be:
Autistic, whether diagnosed or self-recognised OR be questioning whether you may be Autistic
18 years or over
Independent enough to not require ongoing supervisory care and support at group (please ask if you are unsure)
Genderqueer or a woman (trans or cis)
Aware and accepting that this is a queer-friendly, left-leaning space
You can also join us on Facebook if you wish, in our private group:
If you are a cis-man (ie. you are a man and were assigned male at birth), and you want to join a local Autistic social group, you can join Voices from the Spectrum :)
