Connecting Us

We are excited to share more about our work with the neurodivergent community. Find out more at our presentation in Orleans this weekend!

For those who communicate outside the norm—and the people who love them, may we present a speed dating event for the neurodivergent and the people who get it? Introducing: board game speed dating! Designed for neurodivergent minds but welcoming to all who value clear communication, direct vibes, and no awkward guessing games. Over the course of our event, you’ll have a chance to discover new games and meet cool single people.

this is a hard lesson that will likely take many years to really be able to embody

Why do people say “sure” if they don’t mean it? People say “sure” because they genuinely mean it, or they are uncomfortable and trying to be polite, or they freeze and don’t know what to say. Frustrating right? Think of the rule of 3 - at least 3 possibilities of what someone could be thinking. To interpret if someone really means “sure” look at the whole picture - does the person initiate talking to me? are they moving closer to me? if i am at an event do they try to come up to me again to chat? #neurodivergent #loveonthespectrum #friendship #dating #asd

In this video, Sarah’s “sure” is not a genuine “sure”. She is uncomfortable and doesn’t want Tandis to sit next to her but she is being polite. This is very confusing! How do you figure out what someone is truly saying if they don’t tell you? Watch our next video to find out! #neurodivergent #loveonthespectrum #asd #friendship #dating

In this video, Sarah’s “sure” is a genuine “sure”. She wants Tandis to sit next to her and her thoughts match her words. We know from episode 1 though that “sure” doesn’t always mean “sure”. Be on the lookout for episode 3 for another interpretation of “sure”. #neurodivergent #friendship #dating #loveonthespectrum #asd

People can be confusing! They don’t always say what they are thinking in their head. When Tandis asks Sarah to sit next to her, Sarah says “sure”. Notice Sarah’s thought bubble in which she is thinking “I am neutral. not excited/not uncomfortable”. Sarah’s “sure” will have very different meanings in the next two videos so stay tuned! #neurodivergent #friendship #loveonthespectrum #dating
