About our group
Our autistic adults group has been holding free peer-support group meetings for about 10 years in Plymouth. Our meetings are safe places for people like us to meet for mutual support and to socialise. We are mostly over the age of 35, and about half women. It is a member-led group and we also have activities such as summer outings and speakers on helpful topics sometimes. Our group provides a safe space where we can meet people likely to understand our experiences in an atmosphere of trust and understanding, and possibly make new friends. Around 6-8 people usually attend in person meetings, but we also have online meetings.
