(Online) Intersectional Identity Group - Support and Discussion Group for Autistic Adults with Intersectional Identities, age 18+
Monday Jul 21, 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.
