Local autism social clubs

In a study carried out by the National Autistic Society 41 out of every 100 adults with autism said they often feel lonely compared to 11 out of 100 people without autism. Social clubs can help when people feel lonely. The clubs offer an opportunity for autistic individuals to come together in a relaxed place and just be themselves without worrying about what people may say or feeling left out.

Local groups:

  • Suffolk Autism Social club
  • The Night Hubs
  • Autism and ADHD offer support groups, meet-ups and coffee mornings for autistic people and/or ADHD and their family carers
