FREE Discussion Circles

Saturday, November 30, 2024

Join us at 12 PM EST to discuss issues important to Autistic People 40+.

By this point of our lives, we have had so many experiences, both positive and negative. Most of us have overcome big challenges, started to identify our needs, and begun to build on our strengths. Many of us are evaluating our lives through a different lens than we did in our 20s or 30s.

With all the talk online about “bucket lists” that often don’t resonate with many autistic people, let’s approach the second half of our life with a different question. Instead of a huge list of things to experience, what would you regret not doing, saying, learning, or trying?

At 2 PM EST we will be tackling the important topic of “What Comes after Spiritual Abuse?”

You don’t have to grow up in a Netflix cult to experience the devastating effects of high control religion. Your religious experiences might have involved huge amounts of guilt, fear, and shame. Maybe you’re a perfectionist with no boundaries and a deep need to please others so they don’t turn on you. Or perhaps you struggle to make your own decisions because you were discouraged to trust yourself, your body, and your intuition.

No matter how spiritual abuse affected your life, you’re welcome to join us. What is the most important thing you lost during your time in high control religion? What have you started to do in order to get it back?

Together we will create a safe, neuro-affirming space to explore these interesting topics as we learn more about thriving as autistic adults. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
