What we’re about
Hi and Welcome to Neurodivergent Christian Conversations !
I am Kristina, a late diagnosed autistic and ADHDer. (alternatively known as an AuDHDer )
WHY HAVE I CREATED THIS GROUP?
I have started this group for the purpose of creating space and opportunity for others with Christian faith who are also neurodivergent (self discovered and/or formally diagnosed) to meet online and connect with each other and to share with each other about relatable topics. My hope is that genuine community connections may grow here.
WHO IS THIS GROUP FOR?
This group is specifically for people of Christian faith who are also neurodivergent who would like to interact with similar others in a gentle and respectful space.
WHERE WILL MEETINGS BE HELD?
Meetings will be online via zoom
HOW LONG WILL EACH MEETING GO FOR?
Meetings are planned to go for 1 hour, this may change a little from meeting to meeting depending on how many attend on the day
HOW OFTEN WILL MEETINGS BE SCHEDULED?
The plan is for once a month
IS THERE A COST TO JOIN?
Being a part of this group and attending meetings is free
NOTE: THIS GROUP IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY PARTICULAR CHURCH GROUP, DENOMINATION OR ORGANISATION
WHAT HAPPENS AT A TYPICAL MEETING?
After an introduction from the facilitator, each person will have an opportunity and invitation to share their views and experiences on the pre-selected topic and/or to generally share whatever they would like to about their current life and experiences of their faith and neurodivergence.
After personal sharing there will also be time for relevant discussion.
