Intersectional Identity Group (online)
2025-11-24 15:00 - 16:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online, OR, United States
(Online) Intersectional Identity Group – Support and Discussion Group for Autistic Adults with Intersectional Identities, age 18+
Meets online every Monday, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm.
The purpose of this group is to cultivate a safe space to process and discuss what it’s like to have an intersectional autistic identity in the world (e.g., autistic people who are also: people of color, trans, queer, gender queer, assigned female at birth, etc).
Please note, this is not to assume that we will all understand each other’s experience, but that we do understand having an intersectional identity comes with extra complexities.
This is a peer support group facilitated by an Autistic Trans and Queer person.
Register for the group by contacting Lori Ball at LoriB@autismsocietyoregon.org or 503-636-1676.
These support groups are intended to create a safe environment for Autistic adults, whether formally diagnosed or not. If you do not identify as Autistic, kindly do not join this group.

Free sensory friendly show
Salem Public Library
What is a “sensory friendly show”?
Well, for starters…it’s fun for everyone!
We start out nice and quiet, with some silent rhythmic participation…and build gradually to a thunderously joyous finish!
Script available to scan, optional sensory warning program will be available to tell you which sensory elements are coming. Bring your stim toys or earplugs, if you like… or use ours.
Be comfortable. Be you. Be here!
I’ll tell you all about growing up autistic amid the pop culture cheese of the 1960s and 1970s, and how it took me places I could never have dreamed of.
It’s about time…now more than ever.
