Different Aspects of Relationships and Sexuality - Guest Speaker Kate Reynolds
Thursday 25th April 8pm - 9.30pm
We are delighted to welcome Kate Reynolds as our Guest speaker to our April Online session.
Girls Connect support group - for parent/carers of girls with autism spectrum conditions or on the social communication pathway or who may be on the spectrum.
Our Girls Connect group meets either at our sessions at the Crossways Centre on occasional dates or online via Zoom. We have found that offering these sessions via Zoom works for many parents, so we will continue with this.

Girls Connect Background
Our Girls Connect support group is for parent and carers of autistic girls / young adults or those on the social communication pathway (of all ages). We very much welcome autistic young women too.
We have a private, members only Facebook group where people share ideas and you can post any queries / ideas. We also have a group of 230+ members in the southwest London area, although this is now growing well beyond that, with members from across the country too. It goes across all age ranges and it’s a really helpful forum to share lived experiences.
We have free online events with specialist guest speakers that take place every 6 weeks. Our events are advertised in the Skylarks email newsletter, Facebook and on the website too.
Our aim is to create an inclusive and welcoming community and network of support for all our members.
If you are interested in joining the group, you can search for the group, Southwest London Girls Connect on Facebook and request admittance or email swlondongirlsconnect@gmail.com
