AIM Social Group
Main information
Type of service: Social groups
AIM (Autism Inclusion Matters) is a group on the Isle of Wight for adults (over 18 years) who have autism or Asperger syndrome, also known as an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or autism spectrum condition (ASC). It is not a group for parents or carers, or professionals. AIM is a user lead group. This means that with support, people who have ASD will decide what happens in the group and help to run the groups. How can I be involved? We now have funding for a social group. This social group is aimed at helping people who have ASD who may feel lonely, or find it difficult to meet people and make friends. The group will choose where to meet together and what activities to do. We will support members to find people who have shared interests, and build friendships. We hope to have a range of activities that are chosen by members. We hope that this group will become run by its members and we encourage anyone who wants to help in any way to run the group to let us know.
