Information for Young People
To join our community you need to be an autistic young person aged 10-17 and live in one of our 'funded areas' - You can find out more about who can join in our FAQ section!
If you would like to join our community, a parent or carer needs to read through the parent info here and then fill out an application form for you (you cannot apply by yourself).
You don't need to be really into gaming to join, as there are lots of different topics that members chat about, from art and anime to trains and baking!
Our community is mostly online, where we run two Discord servers and a Minecraft server, but in some areas we also offer regular face to face meet ups too. The types of meet-ups are decided by young people themselves and in Manchester we currently run regular forest school, youth group and football meet ups each month. (Sheffield meet ups are coming soon!)
When you join SG you also get opportunities to contribute to our advocacy work as well, and there are different projects to get involved with - some young people even deliver webinars about autism to professionals and parents!

You can see a video of one of our forest school sessions on our YouTube channel here - the video is a couple of years old now and we don't use this site any more, but it gives you a bit of an idea what an SG meet up is like :)
