CAN Registration SystemShare, 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!
