Frequently Asked Questions
ND Connect is an intersectional mentorship and peer connections community by-and-for neurodivergent adults. On ND Connect, you can find mentors, friends, and an authentic, supportive community that gets you and wants to help you thrive.
Members have access to our app designed to help you find meaningful professional and personal connections, our Slack community, resources, weekly hangouts, events, open roles and more.
ND Connect is for adults who self-identify as neurodivergent or feel like they relate to neurodivergent experiences. This includes people with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, mental health disabilities (e.g., Cluster B personality disorders, PTSD, anxiety, schizophrenia, OCD, psychosis, DID/plurality etc.), fetal alcohol syndrome, Tourettes, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, intellectual disabilities, and acquired neurodivergence (e.g., acquired brain injuries, aphasia, etc.).
Ultimately, people in our community want to meet cool people, do cool things, and help others along the way. Members are committed to being generous with their support while respecting their capacities 🙂
Our community is open to people around the globe. Currently, most connections happen digitally but we plan to enable more place-based connections as we grow.
Our team cares a lot about financial accessibility so we’re currently trialing a pay-what-you-want/can/what-feels-fair model.
Our suggested price is $10/month but many community members choose to pay more or less than that.
Members need to:
- Self-identify as neurodivergent or feel they relate to neurodivergent experiences
- Be 18+
- Commit to following our community guidelines
- Be here for the primary purpose of forming genuine connections, asking for help, and giving help where possible.
To be accessible, we’re designing ND Connect to respect differing capacities, fluctuating energy levels, and busy schedules. You can choose to mentor asynchronously or synchronously, and set whatever availability you feel up for/comfortable with. There’s also no shame around rescheduling a session if you’re having a low spoons day.
