Autastic Social Club
A space just for us to meet, talk, and be ourselves.
The Autastic Social Club has moved!

About This Community
Ever feel like you're the only -- the only one who's bored by small talk, the only one who can't abide those hateful seams on socks, or the only one to care deeply about learning all the things? Come hang with people from around the globe who are "the onlys" in their lives too.
When you're part of the Autastic Social Club, you're part of something bigger than any one of us. We are adults who found out we're autistic well into mid-life who gather to make new friends, to see our daily lives with new perspective, and for that glorious rarity of finding ourselves mirrored in someone else.
Join one of the only dedicated spaces for late-identified autistic adults where we can:
- Drop our masks,
- Be ourselves, and
- Find supportive community because of who we are.
If you're new to learning about autistic life, an advocate helping others, or somewhere in between, come find your people.
Who Can Join?
The Autastic Social Club is a neurodivergence-positive space that welcomes members from around the world of every gender, sexual orientation, racial identity, nationality, heritage, faith, ability, and more.
-
You learned you're autistic well into adulthood.
-
You're formally diagnosed, self-identified, or questioning.
-
You're comfortable with the give-and-take of a video conference format.

Do I have to have something clever to say?
You do you. We are a "come as you are" community so however you arrive is brilliant. Take breaks. Hang in the chat. Wear a goofy hat. It's all good. Participate as you feel comfortable.

Do I have to attend every live event?
This is your social time. Skip some events or just hang out in the Lounge. Make the most of your membership in ways that work for you.
