No diagnosis required
Supporting Autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent adults whether you’re self identified, waiting for an assessment or previously diagnosed. We’re here to offer you a community whatever position you’re in.
Your community
Spending time with those who can relate to stands at the heart of improving well-being and mental health for neurodivergent individuals. We offer support with predominantly neurodivergent volunteers and staff in order to ensure an environment that works to offer relatable support and understanding. We don’t have past experiences, we continue to share lived experiences that help to form the support we offer to you.
