SUMMARY:AuSM Adult Coffee Club
DESCRIPTION:Coffee Club is a space where autistic and neurodiverse adults can connect with each other\, foster friendships\, and build community while enjoying a favorite beverage and/or snack. Adults are welcome to bring items that make them feel comfortable\, can stay as long as they’d like\, stim\, and parallel play. We ask that participants purchase something from our venues. \nAuSM will provide a concierge staff person to help assist with questions\, check-in\, help with ordering\, and manage any issues that arise during the club. AuSM will provide a number of resources\, including a social narrative providing club details\, parking info\, menus\, and more. Due to staffing\, AuSM is unable to provide one-to-one support\, however it is encouraged to bring your own PCA or support person if needed.
