ALAG runs a monthly support group for adults on the autistic spectrum living in the Greater London area, although those from elsewhere are welcome. It is a chance to meet others to talk about common issues and to support and help each other.
The first half-hour of the meeting is spent socialising and having refreshments. This is followed by the whole group sitting down together to discuss an agreed topic or to hear from different speakers who offer information and guidance on issues relating to autism. These topics are planned in advance and any member can suggest a future topic. Some of the topics are listed below.

Autism and Interviews – online only event
ALAG and the Autism Hub invite you to an online evening event covering Autism and Interviews.
The employment process including interviews can be challenging especially for autistic people. During this ALAG event we will hear and share autistic experiences of interviews.
This event will have contributions from speakers including ALAG trustee John Harrison. John has recently spent a year job hunting before finally being successful. He will be talking about his experiences, the pitfalls he fell into and the lessons he feels he has learnt.
After our guest speakers, there will be time for an open discussion on interview experiences and time to share tips and resources. We would like to hear from you how the interview process could be more accommodating and better reflect the skills you offer to a job.
