Neurodivergent Resources
Update: We now have a website dedicated to our Neurodivergent Friends & Dating group. Visit us at neurodivergentdistrict.com.
“I've felt privileged to work with neurodivergent clients. Further, I have meaningful relationships with individuals on the spectrum in my personal life. Whether you've been diagnosed with a neurodivergent condition — or if you simply feel neurodivergent without a formal diagnosis — you are warmly welcomed here. I hope the resources I have to offer may be helpful to you and lead to connection and a sense of community.”
