Asperger’s Group

Join our friendly social group in Colchester.

Who the group is for

The Asperger’s Group is a friendly adult (18 plus) group in Colchester where you can meet new people, play games or socialise. A formal diagnosis is not needed to join.

Family members or other supporters sometimes attend the group, especially with new attendees to help build confidence. Generally, group members travel independently, engage in discussions and games and do not require a one-to-one support worker. Volunteers also run the group’s Facebook page and organise informal mid-month meet-ups (without Autism Anglia staff).

Family members or other supporters sometimes attend the group, especially with new attendees to help build confidence.

Get in touch on diagnostics@autism-anglia.org.uk, or call 07951 358012.

Where we’re based

The group usually meet on the first Wednesday of the month during term time, from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the Autism Anglia Jigsaw Centre, 227 Gosbecks Road, Colchester, CO2 9JT.

There are also occasional planned activities elsewhere. The cost is £3 per session at Jigsaw, or the cost of the activity.

Facilitators with autism experience will be at the sessions and occasional guest speakers.

 

“Benefits of attending the group can be improving confidence and skills through experiencing social situations and broadening your network.”
