Late Diagnosed Peer Connections

Finding out you're Autistic later in life can bring a lot of different experiences, questions, and perspectives. You don't have to navigate it alone.

Join other late diagnosed Autistic adults for conversation, connection, shared experiences, and community in a welcoming, peer-led space.

Late Diagnosed Peer Connections is an in-person gathering for Autistic adults ages 18 and older who learned they were Autistic later in life. Whether you received a formal diagnosis or came to understand your Autism through self-identification, this is a place to connect with others who may share similar experiences.

A formal autism diagnosis is not required. Self-diagnosed Autistic adults are welcome.

There is no pressure to participate in any particular way. You’re welcome to join the conversation, listen, share when you’re comfortable, and simply spend time in community with other autistic adults.

We’ll provide coffee, tea, and light snacks. You’re welcome to bring your own lunch. We have refrigerator that is available for food and a microwave to warm up food.

When: First and third Saturdays of each month, 12:00–2:00 PM (NO MEETING FOR SATURDAY, NOV 7, 2026)
Where: Autism Society of Oregon office
Who: Late diagnosed autistic adults, ages 18+
