First or Second Saturday of the month 10 - 11am via Zoom.
Description
You can register here for our Saturday Peer Support Group. Upon registering, you will automatically be added to our waiting list. As soon as a space becomes available, you will be contacted by a facilitator to take payment information. Your space is confirmed once payment details have been taken. * Labelled as 'high functioning' so unable to access existing support? * Late diagnosis and no post diagnosis support? * Asperger's diagnosis not recognised anymore? * Existing support services not aimed at you as an autistic adult, or dropped away when you left childhood? * Wondering if you may be autistic or self identifying as autistic? * Wanting to shake off the deficit based negative narrative surrounding the autistic identity? * Looking to meet other autistic adults with similar identities to share challenges, coping strategies and lived experience? * Needing to take off the mask for an hour every week in a positive, safe and confidential space where being an autistic adult is seen as a positive identity? * Aged 18+? Then this autistic led online group is for you! Register only once. Choose the date on the registration page of the upcoming group session or choose the date that you think you'll make your first session. Zoom links and further information will be sent to you when you are offered a space and your subscription begins with us. Please get in touch if you have registered and have any questions or worries which are causing barriers to attending, we will do our best to help.* - It is important to note that the facilitators at Aupeer are volunteering, are not professionals and cannot diagnose medical conditions, treat health issues or offer professional advice. Aupeer is not a crisis service, and does not offer therapy or counselling, but exists to compliment professional support. Peer support should not replace professional support. Aupeer CIC cannot take responsibility for personal decisions made by an individual in regards to their own personal wellbeing.
