autism support groups

I'm going to an autism support group in tommorow but I have never been to one before and have no idea what to expect. Has anyone else been to one and if you have what was it like?

Hey, I haven’t been to an autism support group specifically but have been to things at my uni where it’s just autistic people. I found the people to be more accepting / understanding than general people. I don’t think there will be a lot, or anything, expected from you, especially as your first time.

I hope it goes well

I'm assuming it was yesterday that you would've gone - but hopefully it was enjoyable for you and something that you can benefit from attending

Yeah, so I didn't even go. My care worker, who was suppost to be organising all of this, apparent;y didn't finish or something because I didn't even go. I have no idea when I will be going, I hope soon though because I think this will be very benifical to me.

You might enjoy it. I'm autistic myself. I used to attend a autistic support group. I really enjoyed it.

Hey @so_very_tired. Sorry to hear you didn't get to go, I hope you get to go soon. I've been to an autism support group a few times before and found it really helpful. We just did some activities like colouring and played some games and it was really good as everyone understood and there was no pressure to speak or join in
