ProudMinds LGBTQIA+ ADHD Meetup is a relaxed and welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ neurodivergent community
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, self-identified, or just curious, this group is here for you. Come as you are — there's no pressure to talk or participate in any specific way.
Drop in to connect, share, create, or just exist in a space where you’re understood.
Expect calm vibes, creative options, and community without judgment. We celebrate neurodivergence and queer joy in all its forms. You are not alone, and you don’t have to mask here.

Agenda

Arrival
Doors open, come in and settle at your own pace. Light snacks, hot drinks, stim toys, and comfy seating available. Visual schedule posted near the entrance for easy reference. Optional name/pronoun stickers and a “social battery” sticker system (green = open to chat, red = need quiet).
-
Group welcome
Brief welcome from the facilitator (sitting down). Overview of the space, zones, and schedule. Explanation of the 3 zones: Talking Zone – for open conversations with others, with converstion prompts available. Activity Zone – for creative activities, art, journaling, and prompts. Quiet Zone – for relaxation, low-stimulus space, and private reflection. Explanation of prompt tables (optional to use, no need to follow them) – informal conversation starters for those who prefer direction.

Free-flowing drop-in
Move freely between the 3 zones: Talking Zone – Sit and chat with others, share experiences, or just listen. Activity Zone – Creative corner with art supplies, zine-making, journaling materials, and prompts. Quiet Zone – Low-noise area for relaxation, self-reflection, or a break. Comfort Breaks: Step outside or rest in a quiet corner as needed at any time. No pressure to stay in one area or interact — you’re free to move around based on your mood.
