Bay Area Autism Collective Virtual Meet-Up for Autistic Adults
·OnlineOnlineThe Bay Area Autism Collective (BAAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the autistic adult community.
The BAAC Virtual Meet-Up for Autistic Adults is a weekly social hour on Sundays from 7-8 pm PST *exclusively* for autistic adults. The group is a safe space to unmask and be our authentic selves outside the neuronormative expectations of society. To register, go to tinyurl.com/BAAC-social.

A little about the social hour:
- An autistic peer facilitates the group.
- In the group, we are all autistic and have full rein to unmask and be ourselves.
- No one will be rushed or obligated to speak.
- Members can use the chat to participate or just hang out and observe.
- Members aren’t obligated to have their cameras on.
- Attendees can multitask while we meet.
- All are free to stim, fidget, eat, or drink, and do anything that makes them comfortable while the group meets.
- Zoom provides AI captions. If you have accessibility needs beyond Zoom captions, please email the organizer at bird@bayareaautismcollective.org
