(Online) Intersectional Identity Group - Support and Discussion Group for Autistic Adults with Intersectional Identities, age 18+
Monday Sep 8, 2025 ⋅ 3pm – 4:30pm (Pacific Time - Los Angeles)
Meets online every Monday, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm.

The purpose of this group is to cultivate a safe space to process and discuss what it’s like to have an intersectional autistic identity in the world (e.g., autistic people who are also: people of color, trans, q***r, gender q***r, assigned female at birth, etc).

Please note, this is not to assume that we will all understand each other's experience, but that we do understand having an intersectional identity comes with extra complexities.

This is a peer support group facilitated by an Autistic Trans and Q***r person.

Register for the group by contacting Lori Ball at LoriB@AutismSocietyOregon.org or 503-636-1676.

These support groups are intended to create a safe environment for Autistic adults, whether formally diagnosed or not. If you do not identify as Autistic, kindly do not join this group.

Empowered Relationships: A Support Group for Partners of Autistic Spouses
Saturday Sep 6, 2025 ⋅ 4pm – 5pm (Pacific Time - Los Angeles)
Presented by The Autism Society of Oregon

Meets online the 1st Saturday of the month & in-person on the 3rd Saturday of the month. When in-person, we meet at Broadway Commons in Salem, OR.

Empowered Relationships is a supportive discussion group designed for partners of autistic spouses who want to strengthen their relationships, better understand their partners, and connect with others facing similar experiences.

Led by Crystal Dickinson, a partner of an autistic spouse for 15 years and a parent of an autistic teen, this group provides a safe, welcoming, and uplifting space where individuals can share insights, discuss common challenges, and celebrate the unique strengths in their relationships.

This group is a community-driven discussion group where members can engage in open, constructive conversations about communication, connection, self-care, and relationship growth—without judgment or negativity. This group is not a class or therapy session.
