A social connection space for autistic adults in Cochrane.
Autism Connect Cochrane is a community initiative designed to reduce isolation and create low-pressure opportunities for connection among autistic adults.
This is not therapy. It is a space to meet people, build community, and connect in a way that actually feels comfortable.
What is Autism Connect Cochrane?
Autism Connect Cochrane is a social connection space for autistic adults (18+) in Cochrane. If you are searching for autism support in Cochrane but want something non-clinical and connection-focused, this space was created for you.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to participate. If you identify with the autistic experience, you are welcome here. Many adults navigating autism in Cochrane do not have access to environments that feel approachable, low-pressure, or genuinely inclusive. This initiative exists to help fill that gap.

Important Information
Autism Connect Cochrane is a community initiative, not a clinical service. It is not therapy and attending does not establish a client relationship with any of the therapists in attendance.
Clinical advice and crisis support are not provided. Peer support and shared experiences are welcome. Professional or clinical guidance is not part of this space.
If you are in crisis, please access appropriate support services.
A Note from Hannah
Hello! I am Hannah Tan and I work as a Registered Provisional Psychologist in both Calgary and Cochrane. Although I live in Cochrane and am proud to be part of our lovely community.
I created this space with Sagewood Wellness after noticing how many people were navigating autism in Cochrane on their own. Not because they wanted to be alone, but because there was not a space that felt right.
This is not meant to be perfect. It is meant to be a starting point.
You do not need to show up a certain way.
You do not need to have it figured out.
You can just show up. You are welcome here.
