The ASC Social Group gives this population the opportunity to meet in a safe, friendly and non-judgemental environment and there is always at least one member of staff that facilitates the Social. Other activities apart from meeting at the Lighthouse and the SU have included bowling; autism-friendly cinema; various restaurants (including Pizza-Hut, Bella Italia, Cosmos, Chiquito's and the Hogs Head pub.)
