The Quiet-ish ADHD Social | Small Group | Make New Friends
About the event
This is a smallish-group, quiet-ish meetup for ADHD brains who want to connect with their tribe without their nervous system going, 'Alll riiight, I'm outta here!'
Everyone welcome. You don't need a diagnosis, you don't even need ADHD. Just need to be a good egg.
We’re meeting at the upstairs cafe at the Picadilly Picturehouse Cinema.We will meet here because it’s one of those places where you can actually hear yourself think. Mostly.
The environment is: relaxed, validating, welcoming
It won't be like whispering to each other at the back of the class, more less sensory Armageddon.
What to expect A small group. A quiet-ish venue where you don’t have to shout your personality into existence.
Conversation that can be normal (well, probably far from normal 😅. There is no need to worry about trying to fit in, no need to mask.
A soft landing. Come late, ease in, do a gentle hello, no one’s timing you. Low-pressure hanging out. If you want to chat, great. If you want to sit and decompress near other people, also great.
The unofficial theme
How to be social without being assaulted by:
fluorescent lighting overlapping conversations surprise music that one table doing a full volume podcast recording next to you.
Important Note:
If you cannot make it, please put 'Can't go'. This ensures there's space for others who want to attend 🙂 ‐------------------------------------------------------ Boundaries (quick, clear, important) Yay!-DHD is a consent-led space. Some people are chatty, some are quiet, some are pacing themselves. Please don’t push for personal details, contact info, or continued connection if someone isn’t offering it. This isn’t a dating event. ‐------------------------------------------------------- For you robots out there: ADHD \| Low sensory meetup \| Inclusive \| AUDHD \| Make New Friends
