Program Description

Event Details

Autistic & ADHD Alliance is a monthly program for neurodivergent teens & adults to come together to hang out and engage in parallel play.  Parallel play is when people do separate activities while occupying the same space, enjoying what they like to do without trying to influence each others' behavior.  Sometimes called being "alone together," parallel play is a nice way for neurodivergent people to enjoy being around other people without the pressure to hold up a conversation or perform in any way.  

Conversation is allowed, but not required!  This is an opportunity to recharge your batteries, read a book, make some art, or play a game in a low-pressure hangout with other neurodivergent folks.  We'll have a puzzle and coloring sheets available if you don't have another activity in mind.
