What we’re about
You’re neurodivergent? A parent? In Vienna? Parenting can be a lot — and even more so when your brain works a little differently. But you don’t have to be alone with this. Don’t miss these new park meetups for neurodivergent parents — kids play, adults connect. Gentle space, real talk, no pressure 🌱 [ new event dates added regularly!]
ℹ️ ALL INFO: This monthly meetup is for neurodivergent parents of all kinds: autistic, ADHD, sensory-focused, or anywhere else on the spectrum. And most importantly, . . .
Whether you’re diagnosed, self-identifying, or just curious, you’re welcome here.
We meet in the park so kids can play freely while we chat, exchange ideas, breathe, laugh, or just take a moment. There’s no agenda — some days we share parenting strategies, other times we just need space to vent and feel seen.
✨ What to expect:
- A relaxed, peer-led hangout — not a workshop, not a therapy session.
- Conversations that ebb and flow naturally, shaped by whoever’s present.
- A child-friendly setting that still centers adult connection.
- Space to be quiet or chatty, tired or upbeat — all modes welcome.
- English-speaking, but language fluency isn’t a requirement. Deutsch reden wir sicher auch.
- Bring a blanket, some snacks if you like, and whatever makes you feel comfortable. Join us for our very first meetup.
Let’s make space for each other — and for ourselves. 🌿
