Asperger's Drop-in Groups

"There's always great support available should anyone need it" (ASDIG Member)

Drop-in groups for adults with Asperger’s Syndrome are provided by The Wessex Autistic Society in Bournemouth, Dorchester and Yeovil.

Social and leisure activities as well as discussion and advice form the basis of the fortnightly groups.

We understand how problems with communication, flexible thinking and high levels of anxiety can create barriers to independence.

Our groups are run by support workers and focus on developing confidence and independence, learning new skills, meeting new friends and sharing experiences.

Each session costs £1. We sometimes organise optional extra activities which may involve a small additional cost.
