Share, support & learn!

Support each other as you navigate dating goals and relationship milestones in a small group setting.

This program provides a safe space for Autistic adults to share their relationship struggles and successes.

Potential topics could include choosing a good first date outfit, setting up a dating profile, fears and worries, communication and sex, rejection and self-care, boundaries, and more.

The program is led by our Healthy Relationships, Sexuality & Autism program facilitator, alongside one to two Autistic peer facilitators.

This program is for anyone age 18+ who self-identifies as Autistic. A formal diagnosis is not required.

Participants must have a registered account and be of the correct age when the program starts.

What To Expect

The program is open to Autistic adults (18+) at any stage of exploring romantic relationships.

  • No dating experience required to participate.
  • Relatively independent participation is expected.

This program is a great follow up to participants who have taken our Healthy Relationships, Sexuality and Autism program. However, this is NOT a requirement!

Kendall McSweeney (she/her) is a registered social worker who also facilitates our Healthy Relationships, Sexuality & Autism program.

Kendall loves talking through thoughtful questions. She is passionate about helping people find tools to live life and experience relationships in ways that are as unique as they are.

Kendall is supported in leading the program by one to two Autistic facilitators.
