Autistic Adult Social Support Groups in Northamptonshire

How can I socialise with other Autistic Adults in a safe space?

We offer free adult social support groups in Kettering, Northampton and Rushden/Wellingborough to offer social connection and interaction, personal development and of course fun!

Our Groups provide the Autistic community a space where they can be themselves, and explore their triumphs and challenges with individuals who may better understand their experiences.

3 good reasons to come and socialise (apart from having fun)

Build Communication and Social Skills

Regular interaction with others can help adults with autism improve their communication and social skills. You can practice interpreting social cues, managing conversations, and understanding body language, which can enhance your ability to connect with people in different settings.

Reduce Loneliness and Isolation

Socialisation helps to combat feelings of loneliness and isolation, which are common in adults with autism. Building friendships and maintaining social connections can provide emotional support and a sense of belonging, which can positively impact mental well-being. Even if you don’t want to join in, you’re still welcome to come along.

Boost Confidence and Independence

Engaging with others helps adults with autism gain confidence in various social environments. We support you in navigating different social situations, to help develop greater confidence and self-assurance, which can contribute to increased independence in both your personal and professional areas of life.
