Are there any groups out there where kids on the spectrum can meet other kids?

Hi everyone,

My 12 year old son has Asperger's and lives with his mum in Poole in Dorset, I live near Batterea in London. The round journey to collect him and take him back is around six hours (so twelve hours of travelling every time I have him) so I only have him seven times a year; a week every half term plus Xmas and Easter, and a further two weeks over the summer, one week at the start and another at the end.

Obviously during covid our options for places to go to have been limited to walks around Battersea Park but normally we go for days out to places of interest or anywhere that I think might fascinate, impress or inspire him. Are there any groups that organise meet ups as it'd be nice if he had the opportunity to meet other kids with similar intense interests. He loves gaming (naturally); animals; Comicon; tech; the Marvel universe; action, Sci-Fi and comedy movies.

If he doesn't really take to anything at least he'll have had the opportunity to try something different.

Any advice or info would be really helpful.

Many thanks
