About to meet up with other people on the Autistic Spectrum

Post Reply New Topic

Yes I have enrolled into a support group to better Social Skills. Partially nervous about it. It also means I will be spending the afternoon with other people on the Spectrum something I haven’t done since I left school. Should be an interesting afternoon.

Good luck, mate!

I hope that the meet-up is in a "Safe Space" and not an "Echo Chamber".

Safe Space: a place or environment in which a person or category of people can feel confident that they will not be exposed to discrimination, criticism, harassment, or any other emotional or physical harm; a place where people can freely express their own experiences without being judged or ridiculed.

Echo Chamber: an insular, isolated space where everyone agrees with the "official" information and no outside influence is allowed; a place where people simply repeat what everybody else has already said, and where new or different ideas are prohibited.

Best wishes for the afternoon meeting chap

I’ve gone to one of those. I’ll be hoping to go to the next one. I’ve missed quite a few in between

Should change the title Was Going To Meet Up....

Got completely lost looking for the place. The GPS on my phone kept sending me down the wrong direction. Tried a different GPS app that got me to the place and saw that ‘green’ gate was lost. They said on the letter look for the ‘green’ door but I forgotten whether it was a door or a gate. So I gave up and went home looked at the address I was next door to the place and I was also late as well so I gave up went home. Next one will be August 30th so will go to that one.
