These free sessions from the Berkshire Adult Autism Support Service offer an opportunity for autistic adults – and their parents and family carers – to meet members of our team in an informal and friendly setting to talk through problems and issues and ask questions about autism and support services.
Wherever you live in Berkshire, you are welcome to attend any session that is convenient for you.
Daytime meet-ups are available in Reading and Slough, while evening meet-ups take place in Bracknell.
