Discovering autism later in life can be both liberating and disorienting. Many Autistic adults describe feeling “between worlds” no longer fitting the old stories they were told about themselves\, yet still uncertain how to embrace a new way forward. Living The Good Life offers held space to share this journey with others who “get it”\, so you don’t have to navigate it alone\, while exploring new possibilities for identity\, connection\, and meaning. \n\n\n\nThis peer-facilitated drop-in group is for adults who are newly diagnosed\, late-identified\, or newly aware/self-diagnosed Autistic\, and who are navigating the early stages of understanding what that means. Together\, we explore what it means to “be Autistic” through storytelling\, connection\, reflection\, and lived experience. \n\n\n\nAt its heart\, this series is about beginning again from the other side of this liminal space. It isn’t about arriving at a fixed destination but stepping into an ongoing process of your becoming. Discovering\, learning\, and shaping your own path. \n\n\n\nWednesdays\, January 21\, February 4\, February 18\, March 4\, 20266:00 – 7:30 p.m.In-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Avenue NW) \n\n\n\nThis is not a therapy group. It is a space for mutual support\, co-regulation\, and honest\, non-performative conversation. Everyone enters as an equal. Not as experts (including the facilitator) but as people\, uncovering something we’ve always been. \n\n\n\nLed by an Autistic facilitator(s) who are walking this road themselves\, each session offers space to unmask\, grieve\, reframe\, and slowly rebuild. Together\, we’ll witness and support one another as we navigate loss\, joy\, hope\, and the beginnings of a new relationship with ourselves\, on our own terms. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This space is exclusively for people who identify as Autistic and are in the early stages of that discovery. It is not intended for allies\, parents\, professionals\, or those who are curious but do not personally identify. This boundary ensures participants can share openly without explanation or justification. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this group is to provide a supportive\, non-clinical peer-led space for Autistic adults who are newly\, late\, or self-identified\, to begin exploring what it means to live authentically for themselves after diagnosis. \n\n\n\nIn this pilot series\, participants will: \n\n\n\n\nEngage with their feelings and reactions openly\, recognizing that all emotions are valid (and can be “ACT’d” on) and important to their journey.\n\n\n\nBuild trust in themselves again\, their instincts\, and their experiences as they navigate new understandings of identity.\n\n\n\nExplore life as an ongoing process\, focusing on growth\, self-discovery\, and meaningful connection rather than fixed outcomes (or this is the “right way to…”)\, that they may have been stuck in.\n\n\n\nWitness and be witnessed (Leave grounded) by peers\, fostering a sense of belonging\, validation\, and mutual support; Triaged support so people don’t have to do it alone.\n\n\n\nBegin cultivating a more authentic relationship with themselves\, learning to move toward a personally meaningful version of their “the good life.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**You can drop-in to any or all of the sessions\, there is no cost to attend. ** \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nRyan Elkanah is a late-diagnosed AuDHD adult with lived experience navigating identity\, masking\, mental health\, burnout\, and loss\, as well as reclaiming agency. They bring a neuro-affirming\, values-driven\, strength-based\, and trauma-informed lens to peer support\, grounded in experience as an Autistic self-advocate and facilitator at Sinneave. \n\n\n\nWith backgrounds in community development and youth work\, Ryan creates and holds spaces for authentic connection\, reflection\, and witnessing. A lifelong learner\, they are passionate about supporting those who have been misunderstood\, marginalized\, or overlooked\, helping participants explore their own paths toward living authentically and embracing the ongoing process of self-discovery. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions\, reach out to info@sinneavefoundation.org or call (403) 210-5000. We’re here to help.
