Welcome to our private and confidential peer support group for allistic spouses/partners of autistic people. There is no formal body behind the group and all hosts do what we can, on a voluntary basis.

Some of our meetings are in person and others are online (for which everybody needs to have their mikes on, be visible, and connect from a private place). The wonderful thing is that we get together and have very deep, meaningful, and useful conversations about our experiences, what we learn and how we cope.

To keep the group running smoothly please adhere to the Meetup etiquette:

• It is essential to RSVP on the Meetup website; please do not turn up if you have not rsvp’d

• Please be ‘present’ - turn your mobile phone off or to DND, don’t bring laptops or hobby items which could be distracting

• Confidentiality is important so please do not identify members or share their stories once away from the group

• Give everyone equal time to contribute especially new members. This could be the first time they have had a chance to talk to anyone.

• Respect the contribution of other speakers (even if you don't agree) and try to stick to subjects related to autism.

Please make sure your Meetup account settings allow you to get messages from us. Otherwise, we won't be able to reach you.
