I live in Lincolnshire and the local authority has an autism hub, where they promote a variety of social activities just for neuro divergent folks, perhaps your own council does something similar? Haven't signed up for any yet, just need a nudge. Think we need to form our own societies, I've seen my daughter's neuroverse group at York university and it works so much better when everyone is autistic and no neuro typicals are involved, judging and misunderstanding.
