About us
Our gatherings are fun, casual, and inclusive events for Neurodivergent folx and their families.
Our gatherings are open to all, and we place a special emphasis on welcoming autistic and neurodivergent teens and adults. We strive to provide a supportive, structured environment where people can find a safe place to hang out and connect with peers.
Some of our gatherings are aimed at parents, advocates and allies of neurodivergent folx as well. Check back often!
Many of our gatherings take place in our local community - Shoreline of CT, but others take place on Zoom.
We will explore new activities and interests together. Join us for events like trivia, card games, painting, and open mic nights. Our gatherings are free. The only requirement is that you come with a nonjudgmental heart and an open mind!

Gatherings are funded through donations. Thank you for your support.
