Friends of Neurodiversity

Dear neurodivergent people,

.

Are you looking for *new* international connections, authentic chats and a safe space to talk about neurodivergent experiences? You’re in the right place.

.

Every second Wednesday, in English, across age groups from 18+, around Vienna*. You’re also super welcome to join if you’re asking yourself “What if I’m neurodivergent??” or are a neurotypical who already has a personal connection to the topic and would like to hang out with neurodivergent folks.

.

Sounds like you?
Join us! 😊

.

Please read the event description for more info before signing up ✔️

.

What's most important, if you're new here? → We've been running these meetups (first founded in summer 2023, by Mario) to fill the gap on supporting spaces that are: easily accessible — which includes avoiding long wait lists, peer- and youth-led, open to the whole neurodivergent spectrum, English-speaking, taking neurodivergent needs like sensory sensitivities into account, offering an in-person community ✅ 🤝

.

〰️ FOR DETAILED INFOS: SEE THE EVENT DESCRIPTIONS 〰️

.

**We use an inclusive definition of neurodiversity and neurodivergence, with neurodivergence referring to a neurodevelopmental difference rather than a disorder. We have a brain that works differently, not a disease :).**

.

Reach out anytime with questions, inputs or accommodation needs.

.

*Till further notice, all meetups will be taking place in the cozy space of the NGO MUT (Mensch.Umwelt.Tier), right at Kettenbrückengasse U4.

Disclaimer: Friends of Neurodiversity is run by peers with lived experience, not trained mental health professionals. We provide mutual support, and — on most dates — the gentle facilitation of a certified trauma-informed coach. However, our space is no substitute for therapy, counselling or coaching. We thus encourage participants to seek qualified support when the latter may be needed to address further topics or accompany us in the process of neurodivergent self-discovery.
