Social groups are a great way to connect with other people and make friends with other neurodivergent people.

Ways to participate:

• Online or in-person

• Singular events like social networking night or singles mixers

• Groups are formed using a combination of factors like age, support level, and personal interests.

Each session is in two parts.

• Part 1: Direct instruction on social skill sets and typical social expectations, in a neuro-affirming way.

• Part 2: Conversation and activity. Conversation is guided and supported when needed to help naturally facilitate meaningful connections.

• Predicting outcomes

• Cohesive storytelling and narrative language

• Problem-solving (for life skills or social situations)
