Adelaide Autistic Adults

About Adelaide Autistic Adults – Social Group in Adelaide

Adelaide Autistic Adults is a registered Australian charity that operates a free social group for neurodivergent adults, including autistic individuals whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. It hosts relaxed, low-pressure events to foster casual socialising, serving adults in Adelaide, South Australia, who can manage daily living activities independently or with one carer. Events occur fortnightly in person and online, creating inclusive spaces for connection.

Main Programs and Services

• In-person events every second Saturday at venues like Box Factory Community Centre, featuring casual socialising with optional board games, TTRPGs such as D&D, and crafts.
• Online events fortnightly on Sundays, including free multiplayer games and guided neurodiversity chats.

All events emphasise low-pressure environments with clear eligibility criteria and house rules to ensure safety and respect.

Who Benefits

The group targets autistic adults and those with other neurodivergences aged 18 and over, particularly in the Adelaide region. Participants must adhere to rules promoting hygiene, non-disruptive behaviour, and substance-free attendance for everyone’s wellbeing.

How It Operates

Adelaide Autistic Adults runs events fortnightly on Saturdays from 6:30pm to 9pm in central Adelaide locations with wheelchair access, accessible toilets, and parking. Online sessions extend accessibility beyond metropolitan areas. Leadership enforces rules to maintain safe, fun spaces.
