Connections

Connections is a programme aimed at tackling loneliness and isolation and is open to autistic adults aged 25 and over.

Autistic people experience communication and sensory differences, which can make forming social relationships and social interaction difficult.

This project will help build connections between autistic adults facing similar transitions, life stages and challenges such as unemployment and late diagnosis.

There are three groups which meet fortnightly over 12 months:

• Group 1: for autistic adults aged 25-40, meeting online and in-person living in the Glasgow area.
• Group 2: for autistic adults aged 41 and over, meeting online and in-person living in the Glasgow area.
• Group 3: for autistic women aged 25 and over, meeting online only and open to autistic women across Scotland.

After participating in the programme, members will be signposted onto positive destinations, equipped with greater social strategies, self-confidence, and resilience.
