SWAN Spaces: Autistic Parents & Carers Peer Support

What Is Autistic Parents' Space All About?

For any questions or further information, please contact parents@swanscotland.org

This group will run on Zoom third Thursday of each month 19:00-20.30pm

This is an informal space for autistic women and non binary people who are also parents or carers to come together to share the highs and lows of life as an autistic parent or carer (of either NT or ND children)

It's a chance to meet other autistic parents and carers, access peer support and information and share thoughts and experiences within a friendly, supportive autistic community.

There will be no presentation, no set agenda and no obligation to participate.

The session will be facilitated by our autistic volunteers who will manage and support the discussion.

You are welcome to just listen, share in the chat or talk.

We're really looking forward to seeing you!

Who is this group for?

SWAN groups are for safe spaces for autistic women, both cis and trans, and non-binary people to come together

SWAN is inclusive of all autistic women and non-binary people including those who are exploring if they are autistic, who self identify as autistic or are clinically diagnosed (private or NHS).

If these descriptions do not match you we would ask that you do not attend our meet ups

Accessibility

We aim to make our online spaces as accessible as possible. You are free to participate as little or as much as you feel comfortable - talk, join in the text chat, stim, bring your pets along, or just watch and listen with your camera on or off.

Closed captions are available at all groups.

If there is anything we can do to make the experience more accessible for you please do get in touch with us ahead of the group: parents@swanscotland.org
