What we’re about
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 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, an in-person community ✅ 🤝
**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.
