In lieu of appropriate social groups: What would you like from a ASD social group?
i don’t do pubs and don’t like going out at night.
So I thought cinema etc?
From a social group I would expect some socializing !!!!! Not in the conventional sense like NT's.
so I would avoid cinemas, unless the group new each other and had a special interest in the particular film being shown.
Pubs ???? As long as it isn't overcrowded. Pubs can be ok. And the atmosphere varies from pub to pub. Just find one you feel comfortable visiting.
Community centres also cater for groups and offer refreshments.
Can one go to a pub if one does not think and do not want to drink alcohol?
I meet one of my advisors regularly in a pub. There I only drink coffee, no alcohol.
In a quiet section we discuss the way forward.
In other pubs I visit for a pub lunch, not to drink. And to use their free WiFi.
If I feel uncomfortable in a place, I walk out and go elsewhere.
