Community Chats Series - Autism

Join me for a free monthly community chat series where we come together to explore and get curious about a new topic each month. This month's topic will be Autism. The event is designed as an open-ended conversation where we’ll explore various aspects of the autistic experience. Whether you're autistic or simply wanting to learn more and become a better ally, you're welcome to share thoughts (and your fav fidget tools pls), ask questions, or simply listen.

This space is open to everyone, including those who do not identify as autistic but are interested in fostering understanding and support. However, I ask that non-autistic participants be mindful of not speaking for or over autistic individuals who are present.

The goal is to create an inclusive and respectful dialogue where everyone feels heard. Let’s come together, learn from each other, and celebrate the diversity of neurodivergent experiences in a supportive, curiosity-driven space!

As always, this is a queer and neurodivergent affirming space first and foremost. A condition of attending is that you must be respectful of everyones identities and use peoples correct pronouns.

This event is open to people of all ages however, young people under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please feel free to bring something to sit on, drinks and snacks, fidget tools, colouring in or other crafty and/or cool projects you are working on :)
