COMMON GROUND GROUPS
The ACN provides opportunities for our members to connect with others who have similar experiences to their own. Be they language based, health issues or other aspects of their autism world, you can connect with people who share a Common Ground with you.
You choose to join any of these groups or suggest another.
We will then add to that list:
· your first name and initial
· Your suburb
· Your child’s gender and age where relevant
· And your email address
You can then in your time contact others who may live near you for a chat or mutual support. Updated lists are sent out monthly.
In addition to the lists, we also invite you to join the Facebook page set up for your Common Ground group as well as one for your area. These are Secret pages, meaning no one can search for them or see what is written, and require us to invite and then accept you. It allows our members to speak in as private a forum as the internet allows.
Note: If you are using a different name on Facebook than with the ACN please let us know otherwise we cannot grant access
