🌿 About Autism On the Go (AOG)

Autism On the Go (AOG) is a community-driven organization creating welcoming, neuroaffirming spaces for Autistic adults, other neurodivergent people, and allies to connect, reflect, and grow — together.

We believe community should be accessible, gentle, and real. Our spaces are designed to reduce pressure, support different communication styles, and honor people’s energy, boundaries, and lived experience.

Our groups support everyone regardless of identity or status.
Check out our Community Guidelines for more information on ways to safely participate in all AOG spaces.

🌱 About this group

This weekly gathering is a warm, reflective space for neurodivergent adults to explore the inner world of neurodivergence — the emotions, patterns, challenges, strengths, and meaning-making processes that shape our lives.

We meet every Thursday at 6 PM (ET) on Zoom for thoughtful, authentic conversation. Themes often include:

  • Accompaniment — the art of being with
  • Human connection & emotional safety
  • Schemas, inner patterns, and reflection
  • Autistic communication styles
  • Boundaries, pacing, overwhelm, and recovery
  • Belonging vs. fitting in (and the role of shame)
  • Identity, inner worlds, and meaning

These conversations are built around presence, not performance.

You’re welcome to speak, listen quietly, use the chat, step away, stim, or simply be.

There is no expectation to mask or participate in any particular way.

🌿 Explore the wider AOG community

If this space resonates with you, there are many ways to connect with AOG beyond this group — at your own pace and in the ways that feel right.

You’re invited to explore:

  • 🌐 Our main website — learn about AOG’s values, programs, and vision
  • 📬 Sign up for updates — get gentle emails about groups, events, and opportunities
  • 💚 Other virtual groups — social, reflective, and interest-based spaces
  • 😇 Membership — support the organization and access deeper connection
  • 🌱 Autistic Leaders Program — for those interested in facilitation, mentorship, advocacy, or community leadership (at your own pace, with support)

There is no “right” level of involvement. Some people come once. Some stay for years. Some quietly observe. Some step into leadership over time. All are welcome.

### 🧠 What Are the Contents of Your Mind?

The Contents of Your Mind Determine the Quality of Your Life
What’s actually moving through your mind… right now?
Thoughts appear constantly —
memories, worries, plans, judgments, imagined futures.
But we rarely pause to look at them clearly.
And yet…
👉 The contents of your mind — and your relationship to them —
quietly shape your experience of life.

***

In this gathering, we’ll go deeper:
We’ll begin an examination of the categories of the contents of the mind
and explore how much of your mental energy load each category is actually consuming.
Because not all thoughts are equal.
Some categories tend to dominate — especially in
👉 counterproductive overthinking

***

From there, we’ll explore:

  • How to begin noticing and categorizing mental contents in real time
  • The difference between being inside a thought vs. observing it
  • Why certain categories (like worry, replaying, “what if”) tend to hijack attention
  • How understanding the categorical nature of your mind helps you work with it more skillfully

***

👉 We’ll then look at practical ways to better manage counterproductive overthinking
— not by suppressing thoughts, but by understanding what category they belong to and how they function.

***

This is part of our ongoing work on expanding relational capacities
because how you relate to your own mind directly shapes how you relate to others.
