Autistic Professionals Network - Wellington

Welcome to the Autistic Professionals Network - Wellington!

Are you on the Autism Spectrum and seeking connection and growth? Then please join our group of neurodiverse adults in Wellington.

We together embrace and celebrate neurodiversity through human networking, shared life experiences, and professional development. Whether you are employed, unemployed, looking for work, or just hanging out, you are most welcome to join us.

We welcome all neurodivergent individuals recognising the rich mosaic of perspectives that ASD intersects with like ADHD, Dyslexia or Dyspraxia.

If you self-identify as neurodivergent, you are welcome here.

Our safe and inclusive space fosters learning, support, and navigating the unique challenges and triumphs of neurodiversity in the world.

We're grateful for our neurotypical allies (also welcome to join this group) who build bridges and amplify our voices. Let's all celebrate the beautiful symphony of neurodiversity together.
