Autistic Spoonies: Autistic Women & Non-Binary+ w/ chronic illness Peer Support Group

Peer support groups are an accessible and affordable option for people to connect with and find support from neurokin. Seeing and hearing one’s experiences reflected in another and receiving validation in return is an affirming experience. It is not therapy or psychoeducation but a safe place for Autistic people to connect with, support and learn from each other.
