About Event

Join our meetup where you can (hopefully) finally just BE, without the exhausting mental gymnastics and constantly needing to translate yourself to fit into a world that wasn't designed for your brain.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD and autism later in life, I know firsthand how it feels to suddenly have to reconfigure your entire identity and navigate a whole new way of understanding yourself. From figuring out who to tell about your diagnosis, to learning how to advocate for your needs, to dealing with well-meaning people who just don't quite understand – it can feel overwhelming and isolating.

That's why I'm creating this community. Because sometimes you just need to be around people who "get it" without having to explain yourself!

What to expect:

  • A welcoming, sensory-mindful environment where stimming is welcome and breaks are encouraged

  • Genuine connections with other neurodivergent individuals who understand the unique joys and challenges we face

  • No pressure to mask or perform neurotypical social expectations

  • Freedom to engage in conversation in whatever way feels natural to you

Community Guidelines:

  • This is a safe space for all neurodivergent individuals, regardless of where you are in your journey

  • We have zero tolerance for discrimination, ableism, or harmful language

  • Respect others' boundaries and communication preferences

  • Share only what you're comfortable sharing – no pressure to disclose diagnoses or personal details

  • Practice empathy and understanding, as everyone's neurodivergent experience is unique

If you're feeling nervous about attending (I get it), feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I'm here to help make this experience as comfortable as possible for everyone.

The space: 

The Volkshotel at the Werkplats (workplace) area! once you arrive mention the Neurodivergent Circle and they will direct you to our area. Please make sure you order something upon arrival at least a drink as we are using the venue's space, it can be as small as 4 euro.
