Autism Alliance of Michigan – Autistic Adult Peer Support (Statewide, MI)

About This Group

The Autism Alliance of Michigan offers virtual peer support groups specifically designed for autistic adults. These groups provide safe spaces for authentic social interactions and genuine friendship-building, recognizing that autistic adults often face social isolation and benefit from connecting with others who share similar experiences and perspectives.

What to Expect

Weekly online meetings via Zoom offer a relaxed, structured environment where autistic adults can socialize, share experiences, and build friendships. Groups are designed with autistic communication preferences in mind, respecting different interaction styles and providing clear structure. Topics may include navigating employment, managing sensory challenges, building relationships, self-advocacy, and general social connection. The emphasis is on authentic interaction rather than conforming to neurotypical social norms.
