What is The Vancouver Asperger Autism Union Âû   

You will find others just like yourself but different, here we call ourselves ASPIES. The meetings are casual and easygoing, you can leave whenever it is right for you, and you can bring a friend or caregiver with you. You are free to bring any devices or sensory toys that are helpful to you We meet for coffee in a public place once a month at this time usually have from 4 to 6 people, always friendly conversation. The group is hosted by Alexandria.  Mid month we meet for social and board gaming.  Conversations as well as board games are friendly and casual and hosted by Bruce and Allie.

There is no need for any kind of formal recognition that you have Aspergers it is not required to become a member. If you have just found out you have Aspergers man or a women, this is the place to come for support, and meet other like yourself.

This group has been helping members for over 5 years now and will continue to do so with the donations received from members themselves
