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.”

Neurodivergent Singles Database

If you are single and seeking a partner, we encourage you to sign-up for our free Neurodivergent Singles Database. Once you’re a part of our database, our Matchmaker will reach out to you when and if they feel you’re a possible match for one of our clients that have hired us for personalized matchmaking. Remember, you can always say, “No, thank you!” to going on a date with one of our clients or, if your relationship status changes in the future, deactivate yourself from the database at any time. There’s no pressure. This is simply another avenue in which to potentially meet that special someone.
