## Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) Support

We provide support for students with a large range of conditions that can affect their University life, including students who have any Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).

#### Our lunchtime social group

During term time, we run a weekly lunch time gathering of students with ASC. This takes place at 1PM on Tuesdays, meeting at the Disability Advisory and Support Service.

It’s a great opportunity for you to meet other students that are on the spectrum and share your experiences.

[Book a Quick Query appointment](https://www.dass.manchester.ac.uk/contact-and-see-us/see-us/) or [contact us](https://www.dass.manchester.ac.uk/contact-and-see-us/) to find out more.

#### Specialist Mentoring

A [Specialist Mentor](https://www.dass.manchester.ac.uk/what-support-can-i-get/study-support/human-support/) will help you get used to the new environment at University. They can meet with you regularly throughout the academic year and answer your questions.
