Autism On the Go (AOG)
A community run by Autistic people, open to everyone
Autistic-led. Free to join. By Us, For All.
Free online groups, peer support and leadership opportunities, built by Autistic people for Autistic and neurodivergent adults and everyone who wants to be part of it.
What we do
AOG is a nonprofit community run by Autistic people. Everything below is free.
Weekly online groups
Support groups, social hangouts and interest groups on Zoom, most weeks of the year. A free group sign-up gets you the links.
MyAOG and the PPZ
Our member space for adults 18+: forums, messages, the MyCelium directory and the Parallel Play Zone. Uses a free MyAOG account.
Peer Connect
One-to-one conversations with volunteer peers who bring lived experience.
Lead and grow
The Autistic Leaders Program, learning opportunities and volunteer roles.
Who we are
Our roots go back to the Autistic Leaders Program, founded in 2022. AOG became an independent organization in June 2024, and our parent organization, Neurodivergent Advocacy and Resource Group, Inc., received official 501(c)(3) status in October 2024. AOG is led by Autistic people and run mostly by volunteers. Many of us are in Central Maryland, and our online groups bring together people from across the United States and beyond. You don’t need a diagnosis, and friends, family and allies are welcome too.
How it works
It’s free
Every group, MyAOG and our programs cost nothing. Giving is always optional.
No diagnosis needed
Self-identification is welcome. Come as you are.
Join your way
Cameras, microphones and chat are optional. Listening counts.
Our regular schedule
All groups meet online. Times are Eastern. Sign up for groups to get the links and reminders.
