About us
The Autistic Professionals Community (formerly Adults on the Spectrum) is a peer-led social group with events built to encourage community and social opportunities for low support needs autistic adults who are based in London and working professionally.
🟠 This group is for forward-thinking, warm individuals who want to connect with like-minded peers, build genuine friendships, and explore shared experiences of navigating life and work as neurodivergent adults.
🔵 We meet regularly to hang out, chat about our lives, and reflect on the unique joys and challenges of adulthood on the spectrum. Alongside our conversations, we also host occasional mini socials and fun group activities throughout the year.
🟩 IMPORTANT:
This space is designed specifically for those who:
● Are aged 27 or older
● Are in some form of professional work (freelance, creative, office-based, vocational- all paths are welcome!)
● Have low support needs.
● Either formally diagnosed or self-identifying as autistic
● Are comfortable socialising in small groups
● Can engage in thoughtful, respectful conversations about topics like mental health, community-building, identity, and personal growth
While there are many wonderful neurodivergent communities, spaces focused specifically on late-diagnosed and low support needs autistic adults are still too few. Our group aims to fill that gap, creating a place where the nuances of this experience can be better understood, respected, and supported.
📸 Joining & Event Info
To help maintain trust and safety in our community, we kindly ask that all member profiles include a clear, well-lit headshot showing your face; no masks, sunglasses, filters, or digital edits that obscure it. This helps foster transparency and uphold our safeguarding values.
📍All attendees who RSVP to events will be asked to join our WhatsApp group, where the event location will be shared 24 hours beforehand. This allows us to communicate clearly and manage attendance smoothly.
If this doesn't feel like the right fit, that's totally okay. We encourage you to explore other wonderful groups that may be better suited to your needs and support your journey.
