AV Events

Updated March 2023


Our guest speaker and panel events are on hold while we continue to search for a new volunteer Events Coordinator.

We are hoping to run more events in the future, and as soon as we have further information, we will share this with our community.

To be included in upcoming emails about events, we invite you to add your name to our AV Mailing List.



About AV events


Our AV Events, one of our most popular activities, provide an opportunity for our community to come together as a whole for an evening or an afternoon either in person or via Zoom. Typically held online, our guest speaker and community events allow professionals and experts in a range of topics important to our community to share their personal and professional experiences, and are designed to inspire, share information, and promote acceptance and understanding of Aspergers and autism.


All AV members have access to tickets for themselves and one additional person at a discounted member rate. Find out more about AV membership on our Become an AV Member page.



If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact our AV admin team.

    Book Club: March



    About the AV Book Club

    If you enjoy reading fiction and would like to have an incentive to read more, expand your reading list, and to meet with others to share your thoughts and insights and to hear others' perspectives, consider joining the AV Book Club for your next literary adventure. We read and discuss work by autistic authors as well as non-autistic authors.


    This month, we will discuss Strong Female Character by Fern Brady


    A book cover with a square window Description automatically generated


    'This is a book about how being a woman gets in the way of people's expectation of what autism should look like and, equally, how being autistic gets in the way of people's expectations of what a woman should look like.'

    Strong Female Character is a game-changing memoir on sexism and neurodiversity. Fern Brady uses her voice as a neurodivergent, working-class woman from Scotland to bring issues such as sex work, abusive relationships and her time spent in teenage mental health units to the page. It will take a sledgehammer to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope which is mistakenly applied to neurodiverse women. It will also look at how her lack of regard for social expectations ultimately meant she surpassed any limitations of what a Scottish working-class woman can do.


    How to access this book


    Cost: $5 for AV members, $10 for non-members.

    Become an AV member today to access discounted tickets for groups and events, members-only programs and interest groups, and to support all the wonderful work our volunteers and staff team do for our community.

            Volunteers needed

            We’re looking for volunteers aged 18 and older to help out as Teens Mentors so we can continue to run in-person activities. If you’re interested, please complete our online volunteer application or contact AV admin for more information.


            All AV volunteer group leaders share the lived experience of their group participants and welcome new attendees. All AV volunteers have a Working with Children Check.


            Each teen must be accompanied by one parent or carer.

            A parent or carer must attend with their teen and must remain on site for the duration of the activity.

            We understand that another parent or family member may wish to join the activity, however we can only accommodate one adult per registered teen, and we are unable to accommodate additional adults on the night.


            Cost: $10 for members, $15 for non-members, $5 for +Groups membership holders and first-time attendees (to cover catering).

            About the Adults Group

            Our Adults Group is for older members of the Aspergers autistic community and those with other similar neurodivergent profiles. It is more suitable for those who are aged 35 years and over, although younger adults are welcome to join in. (Young adults may prefer to attend our Young Adults group meetings as well as or instead of this group.) 

            This month, we will be talking about: Managing your life (executive function).


            The Adults Group is a parent/carer free zone - parents / carers of attendees are invited to join our separate Parents & Carers Group instead. (Autistic adults who are also parents or carers are most welcome.)
