Description
This community connections discussion session is for Autistic adults. Participate in this free online discussion to connect with other Neurodivergent adults. Online sessions are hosted on the Zoom platform and are facilitated by AANE’s Adult Services staff.
This bi-weekly “closed” support group is designed for autistic and similarly neurodivergent adult women (18+) who are looking to build an ongoing connection with other women. The group is primarily a space to learn about and discuss neurodivergence, and to explore related topics chosen by the group. Topics may include:
Masking/camouflaging
Sensory Sensitivities and Sensory Overload
Relationships
Self Care
Empathy
The group is structured to encourage everyone to share and participate in the discussion, with respect for all members prioritized.
Description
The path from securing employment to building a fulfilling career presents unique challenges for neurodivergent professionals. This groundbreaking panel brings together neurodivergent leaders who have navigated/are navigating these challenges and transformed them into opportunities for growth and innovation.
Why This Matters
Employment and career as a neurodivergent individual is incredibly hard, let alone attempting to sustain that employment or create a fulfilling, lifelong career. We are here to change that. Our panelists will share their journeys, strategies, and insights to empower neurodivergent professionals.
What to Expect
Join us for an authentic conversation that goes beyond basic employment to explore:
– Approaches to self-advocacy and professional development
– Real stories of career evolution and growth
– Practical strategies for workplace navigation
– Techniques for leveraging neurodivergent strengths
– Methods for building sustainable, fulfilling career
This multi-session support group is designed for Autistic women (35-50). Through this support group, women (35-50) can build an ongoing connection with a small community of other women.

A closed support group has the same group members (up to 12) for a set number of sessions (8). Closed support groups are ideal for adults who are looking for deeper connections and more extensive peer support from group members. For the best support group experience, closed group members should plan on attending all 8 meetings in the series. This group offers a safe environment where adults on the spectrum can talk with like-minded people, share issues and concerns, and celebrate successes. Common topics include: disclosure, self-advocacy, and relationships
