What's the difference between an Autism Café and our groups?
Autism South East hold drop-in "Autism Cafe" sessions at various locations around Kent. These operate at already established "community cafés" ran by various organisations, which offer local people support covering a wide range of issues and a place to chat. Whether you are autistic yourself or a parent, carer or professional; come along for a chat with us!
Our Coffee Mornings and Coffee Evenings are run independently by us and offer an exclusive room which offers a quieter and more private environment to chat. Like the Autism Cafés, these are also open to parents, carers, teachers and friends.
