Creating Connections: Emma Shores Launches Autism Friendship Club in Abergavenny
Emma Shores, newly diagnosed with autism, has founded a friendship club in Abergavenny, aimed at fostering connection among autistic individuals. After struggling with feelings of loneliness and social challenges, Emma seeks to create a welcoming environment for those who share unique interests, like time travel fiction. The club, supported by the National Autistic Society, offers a space for members to engage in activities without judgment. With a focus on fun and acceptance, Emma hopes her initiative will alleviate the isolation many autistic adults experience, demonstrating the power of community.
