Social Group for people aged between 18 and 30 years at the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum, such as those with Asperger syndrome (AS). The groups are facilitated by a Social Programmes Manager who is responsible for a number of groups in their area.

Social Groups are membership groups which meet monthly, and activities are discussed and decided on by group members. Activities can include going to the cinema, meeting up in the pub for a drink, going for a meal, visiting a museum, or meeting up as a group for a chat or to play board games.
