What we’re about
This hobby group is aimed at neurodivergent women, female identifying folk, trans women, non binary folk, and people who use she/they pronouns, who wish to engage in their own individual hobbies or special interests in a safe and accepting environment with likeminded people. It is particularly aimed at late diagnosed people (i.e. diagnosed in adulthood) who live independently with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, or other neurodivergent identities. Self-identified neurodivergent folk are also welcome.
This is a hobby circle group: bring your own hobby or special interest items to engage with while in the company of others. This might include: drawing, crafts, knitting, sewing, Lego, origami, games, puzzles, laptop work, study, journaling, colouring books, or other activities. Enjoy a chat with other members or feel free to wear your noise cancelling headphones and work quietly in the presence of others to help focus.
This hobby circle is a low-pressure social group. It is an opportunity to make friends with neurodivergent people with similar lived experience. But there will be no pressure to ‘socialise’. It is a safe space to just be your neurodivergent self while doing an activity you enjoy in an accepting environment
The group will meet approximately every 4 weeks in a community centre in the Adelaide CBD for 2 hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Please note - This group is not for cis-gender men (i.e. men who were assigned male at birth and identify as male) or folks who use he / him pronouns as it is for people who share similar lived experience as being neurodivergent, female identifying, trans-women, or non-binary. Thanks for your understanding.
