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.
