Hi,
I'm starting up a women-only group for women with aspergers/ high-functioning autism (I have aspergers too).

Its from 6.30 - 8.30 pm the third wednesday of every month starting April 15th (NOT march) at Journey Metropolitan Community church in central Birmingham - 17 Shaw's Passage , Birmingham B5 5JG (its really near Moor Street station).


meeting dates:
April 15th
May 20th
June 17th
July 15th
August 19th
September 16th
October 21st
November 18th
December 16th


Any comments/questions/ if you want better directions etc either post here or PM me or email me - [email protected]

Also if people wanted to let me know you might be coming so i have an idea of numbers (you dont have to and doesnt have to be definate) that would be great.

Emily

set one up! :wink:

Otherwise might be worth looking for a group in scotland? - the national autisitc society has a database for example, tho they dont have everything on there. Certainly there are mixed (male&female) groups in a lot of places - tho the only other women's only group i could find when i was researching it was in london (and according to their website its not running at the moment). Hope you find something useful :)

bump!
We have a meeting on Wednesday (15th) this is what the plan is if anyone's interested:


6.30 – 6.40 Arrive, tea/coffee, chat etc.
6.40 - 7.40 Baking (either chocolate mini cakes or slimming chocolate cake – ingredients provided).
7.40 – 8.10 Option 1: discussion – aspergers and the workplace
Option 2: watching DVDs – futurama or x-files
8.10 – 8.30 Discuss how the meeting went, make plans for next time (please bring any ideas for things you want the group to do – eg activities, discussion topics, trips etc).


The building is on the ground floor and accessible. There will be a quiet room if anyone wants space alone, and also board games and a computer room if you want to sit out of activities.
