💛 ND BrainSpace: Relationships – Finding People You Can Actually Be Yourself With
Relationships can be wonderful… and also wildly complicated when you’re neurodivergent.
Whether romantic, platonic, queerplatonic, family-ish or “I’m still not sure what this is” — connecting with people who get you (or at least genuinely try to) can feel tricky.
This month we’re exploring the messy, tender reality of ND relationships.
We’ll look at:
✨ Common challenges – communication mismatches, sensory overload, rejection sensitivity, masking, mixed signals, energy crashes, and the classic “I want connection but also please leave me alone”.
💛 What helps – clearer boundaries, softer expectations, honest conversations, different ways of showing care, and finding people who actually like your real brain.
🌿 Being yourself – the relief of dropping the mask, and the courage it sometimes takes.
Together we’ll ask:
💭 What gets in the way of connection for you?
💭 What kind of relationships feel safe and nourishing?
💭 What small changes could make connection easier?
All our groups are currently free to attend. Pay-what-you-can contributions are gratefully received here:
