Our online Peer Support Hub is a space where autistic adults in Leeds can meet each other, give and receive peer support and useful information. It is hosted on a server on the Discord app. On there, we have:

  • Chat channels for sharing information on topics like employment and mental health.
  • Chat channels for news, Discord suggestions and giving feedback about Leeds Autism AIM.
  • Dedicated channels for our peer-led groups, including the Women-Aligned and Coproduction Groups.
  • A ‘Who I am’ chat, where you can introduce yourself if you’re a new member and can read others’ posts.
  • The option to send private messages to members and moderators.
  • In our online community, members are there for each other too.

Discord server closing down this month

This month (April 2025), we will be shutting down our Discord server. Many apologies for any inconvenience caused. If you have any queries, please email Owen at [email protected].

Who is the group for?

The Online Peer Support Hub is for autistic adults aged 18 and over in Leeds who get little or no funded support. It is completely free to join.

When and where does the group meet?

It is open 24/7, but the server is monitored during working hours by Leeds Autism AIM staff and volunteers. In our online community, members are there for each other too.

How to join the server

To access the server, you need to set up a free account at discord.com if you haven’t got one already. Then, you either need to ask for an invite from our team or join our groups mailing list if making a referral to AIM at tinyurl.com/leedsautismaimreferral.
