AUtistic Support Network (ASN)

ASN meets in-person on the first Thursday of the month, from 5:30-7:30pm, at the Autism Calgary Office (3639 26 St NE). And virtually on the on the 3rd Thursday of every month, running from 7-9pm.

This support group is for adults who suspect or are officially diagnosed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and who are able to independently communicate and participate in group conversations. Our monthly meetings follow a roundtable discussion format and offer a welcoming space to exchange insights, share lived experiences, and build community. We look forward to having you join us!

If you are an Autistic adult and you would like to attend the support group (or find out more about it), please send an email to Hannah at .

*Note: In 2013, the DSM-5 replaced Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s Disorder, and other pervasive developmental disorders with the umbrella diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While we recognize that Asperger’s is no longer being diagnosed under that title, many individuals still identify with the terminology – therefore, we continue to use the term in applicable circumstances.*
