Partners Group: December

- In Person Meeting

About our Partners Group

Join our Partners Peer Support Group to meet other adults who are or who have been in a relationship with someone who has Aspergers, is autistic, or has a similar neurodivergent profile. Sharing experiences within the safe environment of our peer support meetings can be a lifeline, and sharing with people who have similar lived experience is validating and often educational. Your partner may be self-diagnosed or have a formal diagnosis, and you may share a household or live separately. We are an inclusive group and welcome partners of all genders and relationship types.

This session is facilitated by our Partners Group Leaders. All AV volunteer group leaders are peers of their group participants and welcome new attendees.

Cost: $10 for members, $15 for non-members, FREE for +Groups membership holders and first-time attendees.

Women & Non-Binary Folk Group: December - Online Meeting

Topic: Summer and Seasonal Changes

As the seasons change, many of us notice shifts — in the weather, in routines, in our energy levels, and even in how our senses experience the world. How does summer feel for you? What changes do you notice in your sensory experiences? Do you find summer energizing or overwhelming, or maybe a bit of both? Are there certain activities, clothes, or routines that help you feel more comfortable or balanced during hot weather? How do seasonal transitions (from spring to summer or summer to autumn) affect your mood, social life, or daily habits?

About our Group

Our Women & Non-Binary Folk Group is a great place to connect with other Aspergers autistic women (cis and trans) and non-binary folk to chat about your experiences, share ideas, exchange advice, and support each other. You are also welcome to attend our Adults Group, Rainbow Spectrum Group, or our Young Adults Group, or all of them!

This session is facilitated by our Women & NB Group Leader.

All AV volunteer group leaders are peers of their group participants and welcome new attendees. All AV group leaders have a Working with Children Check. 

Cost: $5 for AV members, $10 for non-members. FREE for holders of a +Groups Membership and for first-time attendees.
