What we’re about
Bay Area Autism Collective (BAAC) is dedicated to creating a world where autistic people have access to robust social support that holds space for shared experiences and our most vulnerable issues. We strive for unfettered access to autism-informed, autism-affirming resources. We are the vanguards of advocacy that will advance our self-determination and autonomy while challenging and liberating ourselves from ableist and eugenicist agendas.

One-third of autistic people experience addiction. Many recovery groups are designed for neurotypical social standards, which may fail autistic people. The BAAC recovery group is designed exclusively for autistic adults.
BAAC's Addiction & Recovery Peer Support Group is a one-hour peer support session for autistic adults who are in addiction recovery. Register for the Zoom link at http://tinyurl.com/BAAC-recovery
We meet on the SECOND WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH.
Our facilitator, Bird, is a trans-autistic person in their fifth year of sobriety.
Accessibility Info:
Zoom provides closed captions. We are actively seeking funds to provide ASL/CART for our groups. However, we are a very small organization working on a shoestring. Translators add costs and take time to arrange, and, simply put, we do not have the funds to provide them on demand 100% of the time. Therefore, ASL/CART requests must be received at least 48 hours before the group meeting you plan to attend so we can do our best to meet your needs. Thank you for your understanding.To make an ASL or CART request or discuss other accessibility needs, please email bird@bayareaautismcollective.org.
