Upcoming Autistic Social Hangouts:
You're Invited! Join us for one of our regular Autistic Social Hangouts
No pressure, no masking, just real talk, and real connection.
If you’re an autistic adult looking for a welcoming, understanding, and neuro-affirming space to connect with others who get it, you’re invited to join us at one of our Autistic Social Hangouts. Four times per month, AFTI’s Shannan Lea hosts a gathering of autistics from around the world. We aim to offer a safe and supportive environment to share experiences, ask questions, hear stories, and build meaningful connections. Though each hangout is different, it is always a space where you can be yourself.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, neuro-curious or have known you're autistic for years, this group is for you, run by autistic people, with autistic people and for autistic people, because lived experience matters.
Meet others from around the world and talk about life on the spectrum in a space that unconditionally respects and celebrates neurodivergence.

Join us for real talk and genuine community.
We hope to see you soon!
