Shy and Neurodivergent Friendly Hangout

A judgment-free zone for shy and neurodivergent adults to connect authentically. When you arrive, look for our Meetup sign. Check in at the main table and grab a name tag. Tired of masking? Need a break from explaining yourself? This meetup is for adults with Social Anxiety, ADHD, or Autism who want to be around others who just "get it." What to Expect: * No pressure to be "on" or perform to social norms * Conversations that can jump topics (we love tangents!) * Acceptance of stimming, room to be your authentic self * Understanding when you need breaks or to fidget *(This group is designed for individuals who can attend independently without outside support)* IMPORTANT: While we're not a mental health support group, it is a safe place to make new friends. 🙂 ☕ *While our Meetup is free, we ask that you please support the venue by making a purchase. This keeps our events free.* Come as you are, you belong here. Hope to see you soon! 👋🏼 Here are our group guidelines: 1. We follow the Meetup conduct policy. If you're not familiar with it, it's worth a quick read. 2. Please don't use our events to promote your business or cause without first applying for a sponsorship. These gatherings take a lot of time and resources to put together, and we want to protect that for everyone. 3. One more thing about Schuler Books: if the café gets busy, staff may occasionally ask non-paying customers to move to the back. That's their call to make, and we appreciate their hospitality in hosting us. Do you have social anxiety? Are you struggling with having conversations?
