SUMMARY:Getting Together on the Spectrum: AutismBC Adults Meet-Up Group
DESCRIPTION:Are you an autistic adult who’s interested in meeting and connecting with other adults like yourself? If so\, then this is the group for you! \n\nSometimes it is great to connect with someone who “gets it” and to be recharged and uplifted to keep going for the next little while.\nThe group is a place for adults on the spectrum to share their personal journeys with autism\, as well as the challenges they face\, in a safe and supportive environment. Everybody’s lived experiences and personal stories are important. Please feel free to join\, listen or share! We’ll have some group conversations about the importance of community inclusion\, making communities more accessible\, and any other topics members of the group want to talk about.\n\n  \nSign up here to be emailed the private Zoom Link: \nhttps://autismbc.z2systems.com/np/clients/autismbc/survey.jsp?surveyId=118& \nJoin us on the computer or by phone.  \nTo Join the Mailing List for All upcoming Getting together on the Spectrum Events and News Sign up with an email here.  \n  \nJake\, our Program Ambassador will be hosting community connection meetings virtually for self-advocates
