Hello, Neurodivergent friends!
-This is an international group for neurodivergent adults with a late official or unofficial diagnosis!
The road to a late diagnosis in life can be confusing and lonely. The endless research about ASD and ADHD, the self-doubt, and the months-long waiting list can make anyone crazy. But you are NOT alone, my friend! Come and join us to find a safe and private place to share your diagnosis journey, meet people, educate yourself, gain resources and tools for daily life struggles and be part of a supportive community where you can be your fully neurodivergent self!
-The purpose of this group is to offer you different types of support so you can choose what best fits your current needs.
Not all events are free, but I assure you this: the price is affordable and fair for us. The small fee (between 6 and €10) helps me maintain the pay structure I need to keep this meeting running for all of you. I appreciate your support!!!! If you cannot pay and want to participate, please contact me. We will find a way:)
-What to expect from this group and the meetings:
- Neurodivergent-related topic discussions (weekend afternoon)
- Group support meetings for a small fee
- Educational webinars and workshops for a small fee (usually on the weekends)
DISCLAIMER: I am a Neurodivergent Holistic Nutritionist and Wellness Coach. I focus on mental well-being through embodiment practices, nutrition therapy, behaviour, and habit change. I call my holistic approach "The Mind Diet". While many meetings are intended to provide my professional support and education, it's crucial to understand that I am NOT a doctor, and the meetups are NOT intended to replace medical help, diagnosis or the treatment of any mental or physical disease.
---------****However, if you think you may benefit from working with me to improve your mental health and lifestyle, I offer affordable support. Please get in contact with me!**------------------**
