SWAN Spaces Queer Peer Support

What Is This Group All About?

The SWAN Queer Social is an informal SWAN social space for all women and non-binary people who identify as autistic and LGBTQIA+

The group is a safe, confidential space and you don't need to be 'out' to anyone about any aspect of your identity.

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

There is no presentation, no set agenda and no obligation to participate. The session will be facilitated by queer, autistic SWAN staff and volunteers, who will hold the space and support the discussion. You are welcome to just listen to others, share in the chat or join in verbally.

"…queer as not about who you’re having sex with, that can be a dimension of it, but queer as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.”

- Bell Hooks
