Adult Autism Matters - AAM

We are a peer support group based in Wolverhampton for people aged 18+ who have an Autistic Spectrum Condition, including Asperger's Syndrome. The group is a self-run peer group with the assistance of volunteers. We welcome folk on the autism spectrum or with Asperger's Syndrome, or anyone caring for, living with or interested in those with these minority mind sets. The group gives an opportunity for adults on the autism spectrum to meet up each month in a friendly, supportive environment to share experiences and useful information, take part in activities and hopefully feel more a part of the community.

The third Thursday of every month from 10:30am to 12:30pm. If you can help set up please contact me to come earlier or stay after, help is needed and appreciated. There is a subscription amount collected of £2.50 per person attending to cover room rental, but anyone who cannot afford can pay less, or is not obligated to pay at all. Some folk kindly put in more than £2.50 and that is appreciated. It all goes into the funds for Adult Autism Matters (AAM) with the main purpose of paying the rental of the room.

Group meetings can involve arranged speakers, group discussion and activities out in the community - we are very open to suggestions for activities from group members. Carers and family members are welcome. We meet once a month in a community room in Wednesfield Community Centre, upstairs. There is a lift for one disabled person and carer if needed.
