NeuroSparks Sydney: Autism, ADHD & Neurodivergent Social | Check to Confirm

👋 NeuroSparks Sydney Social Meetup
⚠️ PROVISIONAL EVENT: CHECK BACK TO CONFIRM
This event is not yet confirmed. Please check back closer to Saturday 5 December to confirm it is going ahead, and check the final venue and time before travelling.
​
Come along for a relaxed afternoon of games, conversation and hanging out with other neurodivergent adults. New faces are very welcome!
​
📅 WHEN
Saturday 5 December 2026, 1:00 to 4:00 pm AEDT (provisional). If confirmed, come and go anytime during the event.
​
📍 WHERE
Proposed venue: Darlington Activity Centre, 132–134 Shepherd Street, Darlington NSW 2008. The map pin shows this venue. The booking and event are not yet confirmed, so please check back closer to the event date before travelling.
​
♿ ACCESS
Accessibility, toilets, transport and parking details are still to be confirmed with the venue. Please contact the organisers beforehand about specific access needs. We will update this section once the venue is confirmed.
​
CASUAL, WITH A LITTLE STRUCTURE
We're planning four loosely organised zones to give you a few ways to connect, subject to the venue and layout being confirmed:
​

• 🧱 Build Zone: build, tinker or make something while hanging out.
• 🎲 Games Zone: card games and board games. Join a game or watch for a while.
• 💬 Chat & Special Interest Zone: have a casual chat or share something you're passionate about. Listening is welcome too!
• 😌 Quiet Zone: a calmer corner to take a breather or enjoy quiet company, with fidgets if available. You're welcome to bring your own. The room layout is still to be confirmed, so we can't promise complete silence.

​
These are options, not a schedule. There's no pressure to perform, introduce yourself to everyone or join any particular activity.
​
Feel free to move between zones throughout the afternoon, meet different people and try different things. Staying with one activity or simply hanging out is completely fine too.
​
👋 COMING ALONE?
That's absolutely fine! Many people come on their own, so you'll be in good company. Our organisers are welcoming and happy to help you find an activity or join a conversation. You don't need to know anyone beforehand or have a clever opening line ready.
​
🍎 GAMES, FOOD & DRINKS
Feel free to bring board games or card games. Food and non-alcoholic drink arrangements will be confirmed once we know the venue rules. Please clean up after yourself.
​
🌿 NEED A BREAK?
You can step away whenever you need to. Noise levels, break areas and whether a separate quiet room is available are still to be confirmed.
​
⚠️ CONCERNS
If another attendee's behaviour makes you uncomfortable, or you notice a hazard, incident or injury, please tell an organiser promptly so we can respond.
​
📸 PHOTOS & VIDEO
We may occasionally take photos or short videos to share NeuroSparks activities with our community and supporters. You're welcome to opt out: tell an organiser and we won't intentionally photograph or film you.
​
📋 RSVPS
This event is free and for adults aged 18+. No formal diagnosis is required. RSVPs are capped at 35 people, including accompanying support people. If you RSVP and can no longer attend, please cancel so someone else can take your place. Please include any accompanying support person in your booking count. If Meetup prompts you to pay when joining the waitlist, ignore it. This event is free.
​
An RSVP does not confirm that this provisional event is going ahead. You must check back closer to the event date for confirmation, and check the final time and venue before travelling.
​
🛡️ SAFETY & RESPONSIBILITY
This is an adult community meetup, not a clinical or crisis service. Organisers don't provide individual supervision, personal care or medical support. Please arrange your own support person if needed and contact us beforehand about access.
​
Respect consent, privacy and personal boundaries. Follow venue rules and safety directions, use materials safely and look after your belongings. Harassment or unsafe behaviour may result in being asked to leave.
​
Report injuries, hazards or concerns promptly. In an emergency, call 000 and alert an organiser or venue staff. These expectations do not exclude rights or responsibilities under Australian law.
