Navigating life as a neurodivergent person can be overwhelming, especially when moving through a world that wasn’t built with us in mind. Join us in building a supportive community for fellow neurodivergent students with Autism and/or ADHD, where we can let down our masks and empower each other through the ups and downs of university and life beyond. Together we will explore topics such as the neurodivergent identity, self-advocacy, sensory processing, navigating relationships, and more. Both diagnosed and self-identifying students are welcome!
