A gentle, intentional space for connection

The Neurodiverse City

The Neurodiverse City is a virtual community created for neurodivergent adults who want connection to feel calmer, clearer, and more human.
 

This is a space for people who are curious about friendship, dating, or simply being around others who understand. Some members participate through group mixers and shared conversation. Others choose a more structured, one-to-one path. There is no single right way to be here.

What Neurodiverse City is

Neurodiverse City is a facilitated online community rooted in consent, clarity, and respect. It was created as an alternative to dating apps and unstructured social spaces that can feel overwhelming or unclear.
 

This is a space where:
 

  • pacing matters

  • boundaries are respected

  • communication differences are expected

  • participation is always a choice
     

There is no pressure to perform, impress, or move faster than feels right.

Connection Matching Within Neurodiverse City

Connection Matching is one of the ways connection can happen within Neurodiverse City. It is an optional pathway for members who want more structure and support around meeting someone new.
 

Many people participate fully in the community without ever choosing matching. Others explore matching when and if it feels supportive. Both are equally valid ways to be here.

Rather than swiping or algorithms, introductions are guided by a real person and shaped around:
 

  • communication preferences

  • social energy and pacing

  • boundaries and support needs

  • shared interests and values
     

This approach centers:
 

  • consent

  • clarity

  • sensory and communication needs

  • mutual respect
     

Connections may be virtual or in person, depending on preference and location.

Matching is offered as an option, not an expectation.

Types of Connection Available

Applicants may request support with:

Friendship

Dating matching

Both friendship and dating

The application focuses primarily on multiple-choice questions and does not require long written responses.

Meet your facilitator

Alex is the founder of Neurodiverse City Connection and a neurodiversity-affirming coach who supports people navigating communication, boundaries, and connection.
 

Through Connection Matching, Alex brings a thoughtful, consent-centered approach to introductions, with care for pacing, comfort, and clarity. The goal is to create space for connection to unfold in a way that feels supportive and respectful for everyone involved.

Optional facilitation support

Some participants choose to have additional support during early interactions. Depending on availability and location, facilitation may include virtual or in-person support, or help with structure and communication.
 

Facilitation is optional and discussed individually.
