Hey all!

Join us at our fortnightly autistic social meetups, where we come together through shared experiences, meaningful discussions, and a strong sense of belonging within the autistic community.

Whether you're seeking connection with others on a similar journey or interested in exploring diverse perspectives within our lived experiences, these gatherings are an exclusively autistic-safe space.
**You're warmly invited to build friendships, share insights, and enjoy the company of fellow autistics in a supportive social environment. ✨**

Although our meetup is co-hosted by some of our autistic members, there is no formal facilitation; everyone is encouraged to contribute as they are able to, in shaping a positive meetup experience together, while respecting differing opinions and individual needs.

**Find us in the group study room on the library's first floor group study room.** Weather permitting, join us on the rooftop for casual conversations, a change of scenery and some fresh air 😊

See you there! 👋

**\- MEETUP RULES \- Please read \-**

⁠Treat everyone with kindness, respect and compassion. Rudeness, discrimination, hostility, or disruptive behavior during meetups will not be tolerated.
⁠⁠Our group is about making connections and enjoying shared time among fellow autistic folk. Keep interactions positive, supportive and lighthearted.

We are all responsible for our own comfort and feelings. If a topic feels uncomfortable, feel free to take a break, self soothe and regulate as needed.

Respect others' privacy and do not share personal details about attendees outside of the group.

We are a social group, not a support group. Not a substitute for therapy or counselling. If you need advice or a space to work through personal struggles, please reach out to a qualified health professional.

Please listen to the co-hosts, even if you disagree. We make decisions for the the benefit of the entire group. If you have concerns, you may discuss this respectfully, via Meetup private message.

\*\*\*
**Important Note:** Once the event reaches the capacity of 30 RSVPs, Meetup may prompt you to pay to join the waitlist. Please know this is entirely a Meetup platform feature and not connected to our group. We are a free Meetup and will never charge for attendance. You do not need to pay anything to join our events.
If RSVPs are full, feel free to join the waitlist. When people cancel or un-RSVP (which often happens, even on the day of the event), you’ll automatically be moved up the queue and added as "attending." Keep an eye on your status, as this often happens at the last minute.
