3rd Wednesday of
every other Month
Neurodivergent Meet-Up
What is NEURODIVERSITY?
Curious? Overwhelmed? Proud?
Join us the 3rd Wednesday of select months 5:30-6:30pm.
In this supportive environment, we will foster encouragement and positivity, allowing people to express themselves, collaborate, and grow as a community.
Being neurodivergent means having a mind that functions, learns, processes information and/or emotions in ways that differ from most societal standards, known as neurotypical. This encompasses conditions like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette's, sensory issues, and more.
From this perspective we are emphasizing these differences as natural human variations rather than deficits.
