Oh, that's a little too fa for a support group, unless you drive? I do drive to Northampton now and again, maybe we should meet What are the counties around Northampton?

I am in Bucks. We have a local group. People seem to know each-other for years and it is difficult to fit into surprisingly.

Hi im on bucks oxon border and currently not aware of anything local. Have considered setting something up but when we set up regional groups on FIGS they didnt really fly.

 

[Rosapurple]

Mandy, what is FIGS?

 

[Margot]

Mandy, @Spiral, this is interesting, when is a good time for a group? Morning, early pm or after work?

 

[MandyChivers]

FIGS stands for fighting inequality for girls on the spectrum. Its a group on FB and is a mixed group of Autistics parents and professionals. It was set up to raise the issue of the inequalities of diagnosis and education provision for autistic girls.

I would say the most inclusive time would be evening as workers/autistic parents would be able to attend. We even had a base to run a local group but interest was limited.

 

[Thunderchild]

Yes people do tend to set things up without thinking about their target demographic and when they will be available.
