Autistic Peer Connections

Being able to connect with and build community with other Autistics is essential to developing a healthy Autistic identity. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to find other Autistics that you connect with since just because you’re both Autistic, it doesn’t mean that you will get along with each other! One of the best ways to connect with other Autistics is to find people who share your interests – it’s much easier to socialize and feel confident when you are talking about something you are interested in! This resource lists a variety of ways to connect with other Autistics through shared interests.
