Autism group

We run a weekly social, information and support group for student who have a formal diagnosis, are awaiting assessment, or self-identify as autistic. The group is open to anyone who meets these criteria and is interested.

The groups are a social space for autistic students to connect and engage either online or in person.  You will have the opportunity to:

  • meet new people
  • build friendships
  • access information and resources
  • discuss any issues or concerns you are encountering at university.

The group alternates between meeting in person and online every Wednesday throughout the academic year, from 4pm to 5pm.

Online meetings are on Microsoft Teams and in-person sessions are in the Wellbeing Lounge at the Health and Wellbeing Centre.

The group produced an Autism Awareness and Acceptance document. 

If you are interested in joining the group, email disability.service@ed.ac.uk.
