The Towson University Women’s Group is an interactive, integrated organization for young women on the autism spectrum between the ages of 18 and 28 years.  The group meets the second Friday of every month in the Towson Women’s Center in room 313 on the third floor of the Union building, from 7 to 8 pm.  This intimate, casual group features ‘guest experts’ to address issues of advocacy, health, and community participation from a woman’s perspective in an informal setting.  Fun activities exploring feminist expression and identity are also incorporated.  There is no cost to participate in general meetings; optional special activities may have additional fees. If interested, please phone the Towson Center for Adults with Autism at 410-704-4486.  Emails should be sent with the subject heading “Women’s Group” to caasd@towson.edu.
