About Us & FAQs

Neurodivergent Neots is a relaxed, local, bi-monthly in-person social group for Autistic and/or ADHD adults (18+) in and around St Neots. You don't need a formal diagnosis - whether you're officially diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or just questioning, you are welcome. There is no membership fee and no charge to attend (though the venue kindly asks that attendees purchase a drink or snack).

There is zero pressure - you only ever need to participate in whatever feels comfortable for you.

On Fridays, sessions are free-flowing with no formal agenda. We usually sit in small groups to keep noise levels down.

On Saturdays, we host a group discussion around a set topic, but you are free to just listen or sit at the Quiet Table.

At any session, you can chat, listen, work on a craft, read, draw, use fidgets, stim, or simply sit quietly. You can arrive early or late, take a break outside whenever you need to, and leave early.

Walking into a new place can be daunting, but most people find their nerves fade once they're around people who understand.

• Bringing someone: If they are neurodivergent too, they are welcome to join (just let us know beforehand). If they aren't neurodivergent, they can help you settle in initially, but we ask that they sit elsewhere in the venue during the session to keep the room neurodivergent-only.

• Timekeeping: Don't stress about being early or late - many of us struggle with time, and nobody will mind.

We meet twice a month (one weekday afternoon and one weekend morning). To keep the group a safe, private space, we don't publish the exact room and venue details publicly. To get the location details, simply get in touch. We’re not asking you to prove anything - we just want to make sure everyone coming is there for peer support.

The rooms we use are upstairs, but there is lift access available and an accessible toilet. Our Friday room is large, bright, and quiet (no background music), while our Saturday room is smaller and dimmer. You are very welcome to bring earplugs, sunglasses, sensory aids, or fidget toys.

If you are a neurodivergent professional looking for personal peer support, you are very welcome to join us! However, to protect our members' safety and comfort, our meetings are strictly not a place to promote services, recruit clients, conduct research, or take notes for academic study.

If you're nervous, you can ask a host to meet you outside before walking in, or email us with any questions at all. This group is shaped by the people who attend, so we always welcome feedback. Reach out anytime at neuroneots@gmail.com.
