About us
Hi, I'm the host. I'm from the UK, late-diagnosed AuDHD, and when I moved to Dubai I couldn't find neurodivergent-friendly spaces like the ones back home, so I made one. This is an English-speaking group, and it's open to everyone, all nationalities and backgrounds welcome, wherever you're from.
Dice & Divergence is a board game social in Dubai, by and for neurodivergent people. Asperger's (ASD Level 1), ADHD, AuDHD, and however else you identify or suspect you might. No diagnosis required, no proving you're "ND enough." If this sounds like your kind of room, it's for you.
We meet on Wednesday evenings at a board game café around JLT/Marina. Games are the point for a reason: shared focus and clear rules mean connection can happen around the table, without the pressure of open-ended small talk. Play if you want, watch if you'd rather, leave when you need to. No masking required.
Everything's built to be predictable and low-pressure. You'll always know roughly how the night runs before you arrive, and there's a simple system for signalling how much you feel like interacting. Come and just watch a table if that's your speed.
Now and then we run infodump nights too, with a few minutes each for anyone who wants to share something they're deep into. Special interest, current hyperfixation, glorious rabbit hole: all welcome.
