Neurodivergent in Barcelona

Welcome autistic people, people with ADHD, audDHDers, dyslexic and dyscalculic people, CPTD folks, people with BPD, people anxiety and/or depression and everyone else

My name is Filip and I 'came out' as autistic in summer 2021. Since May 2022, my partner and I live in Barcelona and I have noticed that neurodivergence isn't yet a well-known topic in the city and the region. After trying out different meetup group, I realized it would be really great to start a meetup for the neurodivergents in Barcelona and get to know each other.

Neurodivergent Walks are our regular activity as a way to meet, spend time in nature and share public space with other Neurodivergent people in the city.

We typical choose parks and places with low sensory input, as something of a rarity in the city. But our walks are also there to satisfy sensory seeking needs, with a mix of nature and sometimes culture/art.

Everyone is welcome whether you're a local, expat or visitor. Also we're NT/allistic-friendly so if you want to bring your partner or family as well, you're welcome.

Please understand that for the safety of every member it's required to have a profile photo and given name in your profile before joining.

El idioma del grupo es el inglés pero tenemos muchos hablantes de castellano y catalán.

El idioma del grup és l'anglès però tenim molts parlants de castellà i català.

🔹 4/10 - Gentle motion, distant echoes, a comforting hum of activity.
🔹 5/10 - Vibrant sounds, scattered movement, a mix of scents.
🔹 6/10 - A lively hum, shifting colors, rhythmic pulses of movement.
