About APG
What is Autistic Peer Group?
Autistic Peer Group (APG) is a new and unique initiative set up by and for autistic students. APG started its community in January 2019 at University College London with the hope to give autistic students a sense of belonging and safety at university. The aim is to support each other. For many reasons, life can be difficult for autistic students. APG aims to provide an hour a week when autistic students feel less pressure in engaging with others and space to develop an authentic sense of connection.
What do APG do?
We meet once a week for one hour. In our regular meeting, we quite often use topic cards to get the conversations going. The meeting is casual and aims to be the most comfortable and peaceful space for autistic students to be on campus. It is free to talk or not to talk.
​
What we could do at APG is not limited. We can be creative and innovative as well as supportive and having fun. Your ideas are always welcomed!
Who is APG for?
APG is for autistic students studying at UCL. Currently, we have a quite good number of members in the group (not too big but big enough to be a community). If you 're a current/prospect autistic student at UCL, take a leap of faith to meet us on one Tuesday! You won't be sorry!
