What we’re about
Welcome to the Autistic Professionals Network - Wellington!
Are you on the Autism Spectrum and seeking connection and growth? Then please join our group of neurodiverse professionals in Wellington!
We together embrace and celebrate neurodiversity through professional networking, career development, and shared life experiences.
We welcome all neurodivergent individuals recognising the rich mosaic of perspectives that ASD intersects with like ADHD, Dyslexia or Dyspraxia.
If you self-identify as neurodivergent, you are welcome here.
Our safe and inclusive space fosters learning, support, and navigating the unique challenges and triumphs of neurodiversity in the professional world.
We're grateful for our neurotypical allies (also welcome to join this group) who build bridges and amplify our voices. Let's all celebrate the beautiful symphony of neurodiversity together.
Please note that we're individual neurodiverse people sharing our thoughts on career, business, and life. We are not a professional counseling or therapy group. If needed, please seek professional support. Thank you for understanding.
We look forward to welcoming you to our next event!

We are incredibly grateful to Autism NZ for providing a safe and professional space, complete with meeting rooms, for us to regularly meet and collaborate. This dedicated space is instrumental in fostering a sense of community and allowing our group to thrive. We also extend our thanks to Kokua New Zealand for providing tea, coffee, and biscuits during our meetings.
If you are passionate about supporting individuals with autism and neurodiversity, we encourage you to consider donating to Autism NZ. Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference in the lives of those we serve. You can also support our Meetup Group by volunteering your time or skills.
