MEMBERSHIP for Adults ~ Autistic or with Asperger Syndrome
If you’re a New Zealand adult aged
20 years or over, and consider yourself to be on the autism
spectrum, you’re welcome to apply to join, by contactingmembership@asknz.net.Membership is currently free, although we
do appreciate a KOHA (donation) towards our running costs.
.
Member benefits include our newsletter, use of our LIBRARY and opportunities to meet with others like ourselves, to learn and share together. We hold peer support meetings and workshops on such topics as communication issues, managing anxiety and stress, etc. Currently these are for members capable of attending without a support person (as we support one another), and are held in Canterbury, ‘Central North Island’ (usually Bay of Plenty), ‘Lower North Island’(usually Kapiti), and Auckland; with the possibility of future groups in any other location with enough members keen to attend and willing to help coordinate / host these. Once locations and dates have been decided, they are circulated to members.

We welcome members to contribute to our newsletter (HERE are ASK's contact details). Opportunities are available for members to join our panel of
speakers (HERE), Board of Trustees (HERE) or take up other roles
within ASK Trust to help foster our aims.
