What we’re about
Welcome to ND Smiley! Your Neurodiverse community in London.
We embrace all things Neurospicey, so join us at one of our events to socialise, share your experiences (or don't) and feel free to unmask in the presence of others who know.
We try to make our venues as accessible as possible and offer arts and crafts, games and relaxed socialising (with cue cards encouraged for those that would like to use them). There will also be peer support at hand to help unravel the overwhelming mysteries of advocacy and assessments.
So come along and find a friendly face at ND Smiley.
Neurodivergents of London, you have finally found your tribe!

Join Us for an Evening of Theatre and Drinks in Wimbledon!
We’re planning a fun evening to catch the one-night-only performance of Tides (An Autism Story)—a critically acclaimed play that blends Monty Pythonesque humour with heartfelt drama, offering a unique and personal insight into the experience of growing up autistic.
Following its successful run at Camden Fringe, this play promises to be both thought-provoking and entertaining, told from the perspective of someone who finds the humour in life's challenges.
Date: Wednesday 25th June
Location: Wimbledon
Pre-Show Meetup: Join us for drinks beforehand to mingle and chat!

ND Smiley Families Meetup – First Ever! Battersea Park Edition
We’re trying something new! ND Smiley usually does meetups just for autistic and ADHD adults – but this time, we’re making it family-friendly. So if you're a neurodivergent parent, bring the kiddos along and join us for a relaxed day in Battersea Park!
It’s a chance for both grown-ups and little ones to meet, play, chat, and connect with others who just get it.
This event is for families with kids, so it might not be the best fit if you’re coming solo (we still love you though – more adults-only events soon!).
When RSVPing, please add the children you’re bringing as guests – it helps us know how many people (and little legs!) to expect.
Bring snacks, toys, picnic blankets – whatever makes it fun and comfy for your crew. We can’t wait to see you there!
ND Smiley :)
