Celebrating autistic identity and connection

Autistic folks look at the world in our own ways—ways we can appreciate and understand when we share our experiences with one another. This online & IRL group is for autistic teens ages 15 or up, who are working towards college/university or already enrolled. It’s a chance for us to share our experiences, perspectives and strategies, and to just hang out and have fun with other people who get it.

We’re starting out as a Discord server so that we can get to know one another before meeting in person. (You’re welcome to join the Discord server even if you’re not joining the in-person meetings.) The group will be facilitated by a 3rd year UBC student who is autistic himself, and can help teens get a sense of what it’s like to transition to university when you’re on the spectrum.  We’ll have weekly real-time meetups on Discord, as well as ongoing chats.

Join us for one of our introductory open-house sessions on Discord. We’ll have a virtual greeting room to ensure each person joining is a real teen-age person, after which you’ll be added to the main Discord server.

• 4-5 pm PST (7 pm EST) on Monday August 5th
• 7-8 pm PST (10 pm EST) on Tuesday August 13th
