What we’re about
This is the Massachusetts chapter of the Full Spectrum Agency Autistic Adults and is for any adult on the autism spectrum who is looking for an accepting and inclusive community of friends for socializing and peer support. The Massachusetts chapter will host both virtual and in-person events for Autistic Adults in Massachusetts. We meet monthly for a variety of events including social skills practice, peer support, educational trainings, and fun activities around the Boston area.
We are a chapter of the larger Full Spectrum Agency (https://www.meetup.com/full-spectrum-agency-autistic-adults/) and are also welcome to attend their virtual events. Members of the larger Full Spectrum Agency may sometimes attend virtual meetings of the Massachusetts chapter, as well.
Our group is led by autistic adults, for autistic adults. Everyone is welcome, regardless of diagnostic status or support needs. Nonverbal members are welcome. If you need a friend or caretaker to accompany you to meetups to help you communicate and interact with the group, you are welcome to do so. Members are welcome to sit in and listen to the conversation without sharing. We will offer you an opportunity to share, and you always have the right to pass.
Please note we are currently meeting on the Zoom platform. To learn more about using Zoom, please consult this guide: https://www.goucher.edu/learn/graduate-programs/distance-learning-resources/documents/student_documents/HowtoParticipateInAZoomMeeting.pdf
We hope you will join us! If you have any questions, please contact Christine Sunnerberg at christine@FullSpectrumASD.org.

See all- Monthly Craft, Color, and Chat @ Natick Public Library & LunchNatick Library - Morse Institute Library, Natick, MA
Join the Massachusetts Chapter for our monthly gathering at the Morse Institute Library in Natick, MA.
This event will be held in a private meeting room at the library with a maximum capacity of 7 people. We have the room reserved from 11:30 am to 1:30pm.
Coloring books and markers will be available and please do bring your own of either item if you prefer. For those who may wish to do another craft, please feel free to bring whatever you may be working on. Please be mindful that this is a public meeting space and we will be responsible for cleaning up the space before leaving, so please limit crafts with the potential to leave a mess.
This event is for socializing and spending time together as an autistic community, so please feel free to come even if you just want to hang out and chat.
After the library, we will be walking over to Lola's Italian Kitchen and Market to have some food. You can find their menu on their website and there is also a gluten free menu available.
Any and all autistic adults welcome, including questioning and self-diagnosed individuals. If you have any questions or to request accommodations ahead of the meeting, please contact Christine at christine@fullspectrumasd.org.
