If you’re a Washington area autistic adult, connect with our community via our Zoom Meeting and Chats, in-person meetings, and e-mail group.
We have over 500 members. Plus, we have 20 to 30 members at our Monthly Support Zoom Meetings and our Biweekly Zoom Chats.
All our events (including Zoom events) and e-mail group communications are strictly confidential. There is to be no recording or transcribing, in part or in whole, of any of our events (including Zoom events).
Our Monthly Support Zoom Meetings last two hours and have an agenda, which is e-mailed to members before each Monthly Meeting. Each Monthly Support Meeting features a discussion topic. Our monthly in-person meetings continue the conversations.
Our Biweekly Zoom Chats have no agenda or discussion topics — we informally check in on one another. Biweekly Chats last one hour and are more intimate, and less formal than our Monthly Support Meetings.

Our Zoom Meetings and Chats, in-person meetings, and e-mail group are limited to autistic adults in our region. (A professional diagnosis is not required for membership.)
Those who qualify for membership are encouraged to contact an officer.
Most social activities are open to family and friends. We maintain strict confidentiality of member identities and comments. To protect privacy in our e-mail group, many members use only their first names or use pseudonyms.
Autistics, their parents and other family members often request our list of “Resources for Autistic Adults in Greater Washington.”
We offer our members mutual encouragement, try to connect our members with the right services, organize social activities, and advance our policy interests.
