⭐Monthly Social & Birthday Dinner! 🎂 Autistic Professionals Community Social

🌟 About The Event 🌟
The Autistic Professionals Community 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.

Whether you're a freelancer, creative, office‑based, vocational, all paths are welcome!

We get together to chat, connect, and share the real‑life experience of navigating work and life as autistic adults.

🟠 Who is this for?
This space is designed specifically for those who:🌟

• Are 18 or older
• Are in some form of professional work, or are interested in pursuing and developing their professional lives. All career paths, employment / self-employment experiences and sectors are welcome!
• Have low support needs (formally diagnosed or self‑identifying as autistic) and are comfortable attending events alone.
• Are comfortable socialising in small groups with light moderation.
• Can engage in thoughtful, respectful conversation about topics like identity, mental health and community.
• This is a social, not a therapy or clinical support group.

🔵 What to expect

• Tables of 4–5 to make conversation easier
• Gentle prompts may be offered, joining in is optional; but encouraged- as we love to hear everyone's perspective!
• Groups may reshuffle to broaden connections, opt out if you prefer.
• Many of us stay afterwards for food/drink. This is optional; so please pay your own way.

🎂 What Happens During the Monthly Birthday Circle?

• We pause midway through the event to celebrate members with birthdays occuring that month!
• We bring out a cake, sing Happy Birthday, and birthday attendees can blow out candles together
• Cake is shared with birthday guests, with an optional group photo

Capacity is limited, so please RSVP if you plan to attend.

🟩 Joining & event info

• Please DM an event host to join our WhatsApp group if you intend to come.
• The event location is shared in WhatsApp 24 hours beforehand
• For safeguarding, please use a clear, well‑lit headshot (no sunglasses, masks, heavy filters)

🧩 Accessibility & community values
Let us know any access needs (quiet seating, early arrival info, etc.)
We keep a simple code: be kind, consent to sensitive topics, allow processing time, and avoid unsolicited advice
Language note: we avoid outdated terms and are open to feedback—our wording will continue to evolve with the community’s input

🌱 A note on fit
London has many wonderful ND spaces.
This event focuses on the late‑diagnosed / low support needs, working‑professionals experience. If this isn’t the right fit, that’s totally okay. We celebrate choice and encourage you to find the community that best supports you.
Cost: Free to attend; venue purchases are optional

The Autistic Professionals Community
We aim to build a community of empathic and intelligent individuals to share and grow with.
