Hi,
I am trying to organised a new social group on Meetup, a website for organizing social events, for people with high functioning autism and Asperger syndrome. The idea is to have a group that is run and organised by us, to give people a chance to socialize with others like them.
It will be a relaxed and fun social environment to meet new people and talk about what ever you like. These meetups will take place around the Brighton, Shoreham and Worthing area, in a suitable location. A quiet pub or cafe with easy access for example.
The group is open to anyone on the high functioning side of autism over 18, that can attend by themselves. I was thinking about having meet-ups once a week if there is enough interest, we could also look at doing activities in the area such as evenings outs, walks, cycling, site seeing, lunches etc, of course you are free to pick and choose what events you attend. If you have any ideas please feel free to get in touch. I know there are lots of us out there in the area, so it would be nice to have a way to meet some of you.
You can find the group at the following address, it is free to join:
www.meetup.com/.../
If you would prefer not to sign up on Meetup you can contact the group by using this thread or I can provide an email adress.
Currently I am doing this by myself, If you would have any interest in helping me run the group I would love to hear from you. I am hoping to start a facebook group soon which is something I could do with help with.
I look forward to meeting you!
