About us
Our gatherings are fun, casual, and inclusive events for Neurodivergent folx and their families.
Our gatherings are open to all, and we place a special emphasis on welcoming autistic and neurodivergent teens and adults. We strive to provide a supportive, structured environment where people can find a safe place to hang out and connect with peers.
Some of our gatherings are aimed at parents, advocates and allies of neurodivergent folx as well. Check back often!
Many of our gatherings take place in our local community - Shoreline of CT, but others take place on Zoom.
We will explore new activities and interests together. Join us for events like trivia, card games, painting, and open mic nights. Our gatherings are free. The only requirement is that you come with a nonjudgmental heart and an open mind!

Gatherings are funded through donations. Thank you for your support.

Come Hike with us! For Neurodiverse Folx
Pettipaug Yacht Club, 145 River Rd, Essex, CT, USAre you ready for an adventure? It's spring migration season; let's go look for birds!
This event is open for you to bring your friends and family.
Join us at one of our favorite, local gems! We will complete a simple, short hike together at North Cove & Great Meadow Conservation Preserve. Whether you are a hiking expert, a bird watcher or just looking to hang out with friends, this is a great way to get outdoors!
We will park and meet at the Pettipaug Yacht Club (145 River Rd, Essex, CT 06426) and set up scopes for viewing birds on the river which could include eagles, ducks, and other more common birds. Jim Denham will talk about birds that we are viewing, distinguishing markings, habitat, feeding habits, and such. We'll then proceed past the Essex Boat Club and on to Great Meadows noting and viewing birds on the way.
To find the parking area, from River Road, look for small white signs (P.Y.C and E.B.C.) and make the turn. This small road looks like a driveway. There are signs on it that say for "Members Only". We have an invitation, please come in. The dirt road goes toward the river and then turns right. From there you will see the building. Parking is behind it. Meet us on the porch facing the river.
Please check the weather to have appropriate attire and waterproof footwear! Bring a water bottle and binoculars if you have them. (We will have some on hand.)
Rain will cancel.
