Autistic After Hours is a community interest company set up by autistic people for autistic adults as it was identified that there are no services or support groups for people with autism that are not held during typical working hours.
We meet once a month on a Saturday afternoon at a venue in Paignton, Devon, where members can come and socialise in a safe environment with other people with autism. Additional events are planned by the group on a month to month basis.
We hope that attending the group will promote positive well-being, self-worth and self-confidence, where being autistic doesn’t need to be a barrier to enjoying social activities and company.
Our aims are:
To allow people with autism to access vital peer support
To alleviate isolation and loneliness within the autistic community
To provide a safe social environment where people can be themselves
To enable people to share their special interests
To boost the mental health of people within the autistic community
To provide an inclusive and accepting culture
To support forming new friendships and social networks
