The Autistics Association of Greater Washington meets monthly at the Teaism at Penn Quarter restaurant in downtown Washington, D.C.
There’s no need for autistic adults to register or give advance notice in order to attend our monthly meetings.
By participating, you promise to maintain strict confidentiality, to treat other members with kindness and respect, and to avoid commercial self-promotion.
All our events are strictly confidential. There is to be no recording or transcribing, in part or in whole, of any event.
Since resuming in-person monthly meetings at Teaism in February 2025 — after a 5-year hiatus — our in-person monthly meetings run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
As you descend the Teaism staircase, you will find our meeting place on the left-side smaller elevated area.
