What we’re about
Hi there!
This group is intended to be a safe-space for Neurodivergent women and non-binary folk to connect within London, Ontario!
In this time, it’s becoming more apparent that us ND folks need to build strong community and celebrate and uplift ourselves!
This group is perhaps the first of it’s kind in London and will be rapidly developing and evolving as we go.
This group is meant to be a space where we call all interact in the way that is most naturally comfortable to us: whether that looks like stimming, info-dumping, “random” conversations and so forth - you are free to be able to act however and discuss whatever as long as it’s respectful and avoiding sensitive topics (such as: politics, religion, violence ect).
*please note - this is not a therapy group and I am not a professional: that being said discussion around shared lived-experiences may arise but please be mindful of the emotional toll it may take on others.
——>Talking about sensitive topics in a casual group setting can be tricky because it’s deeply personal and tied to people’s identities and values. Everyone may have different beliefs, and these differences can easily lead to misunderstandings or hurt feelings, even if no one means harm. Since topics like religion or politics often involves big questions about life and morality, it’s harder to find common ground, and the conversation can become tense, making others in the group uncomfortable. as this is a casual setting, it’s meant to be relatively light, enjoyable conversations, so it’s often better to stick to neutral topics and save deeper discussions for one-on-one or more thoughtful environments.
There’s no set perimeters or guideline for how for socials will go, but I will share a template (which can be help for us ND folks), either by uploading on here or through private message, before hand about topics that could be fun to discuss and help us stay on some sort of track if we wish! So please stay up to date through the group notifications!
Some rotating plans within either online or in-person events:
-ice-breakers like trivia
-games like charades, various board games
-potlucks and recipe swaps
Looking forward to meeting you!
