What we’re about
Are you on the autism spectrum or think that you might be? Do you like board game nights, restaurant outings, nature walks, adult colouring book events, and all kinds of other ways to have fun?
If you said yes to both, hi there! We’re Full Spectrum Social, and we host get-togethers for Autistic adults to meet and have fun. We know what it’s like to feel “different”. We want to show you that there are other people who are a lot like you after all.
If you’re someone who’s quiet or has had a hard time meeting people, that’s perfectly OK. Only participate and talk to others to the extent that you’re comfortable. We get that it can be hard to “put yourself out there”. That’s why we’re here—we want to make it easier for Autistic people like us to meet new people, talk about our experiences, and make friends.
There’s a membership fee of $10 per person per six-month period running between
October 1 and April 1 and then again from April to October. Fees can be paid by e-
transfer to [email protected].
We understand that different people have different budgets. We don’t want cost to be a barrier to access our group. If you have any concerns about paying group fees, we
welcome you to reach out to Danielle through the app or at [email protected] to discuss
things further.
We also have a website with a lot more information about the group and our community. Visit us at https://www.fullspectrumsocial.org/
We do expect everyone to be kind and respectful towards other group members. There are a variety of experiences and opinions among people who attend our events, and it’s possible that you’ll find that you don’t agree or identify with everything. Autism is a spectrum and we all have different traits. Different people have different boundaries, needs, wants, triggers, and life experiences And there’s no right or wrong way to be Autistic. So please keep all that in mind when you attend events.
If you sign up for one of our events and you aren’t able to make it, we ask that you mark yourself as not attending as soon as possible, and preferably with a few hours to go before the start time.
We have a Discord—message me on Meetup if you want to join!
