So, what is the Social Connections Summit—and is it for you?

Short answer: If people are part of your work, your community, or your life, yes. 💛

The Social Connections Summit is about exploring something we often overlook:

The quality of our connections affects the quality of our communities.

It brings together people who care about creating spaces where others can feel connected, included, supported, and like they belong.

That can include:

→ Community leaders and organizers
→ Nonprofit and social-impact organizations
→ Business and workplace leaders
→ Educators and service providers
→ People working in accessibility and inclusion
→ Anyone interested in strengthening social connection

Why does it matter?

Because connection is more than networking.

It’s about having people you can turn to.
Having spaces where you feel welcome.
Being able to participate and communicate.
And knowing that you’re part of something bigger than yourself.

We’re proud that Squirrel Space is a Gold Sponsor of the Social Connections Summit and excited to support a conversation that aligns so closely with our mission: creating spaces where people can connect, belong, and thrive.

As a Gold Sponsor, we’re honored to help bring together people who are asking an important question:

How do we build communities where more people feel like they truly belong?

The Summit is a chance to learn, listen, share ideas, and connect with others who believe stronger relationships create stronger communities.

If that sounds like a conversation you want to be part of, this Summit is for you. 💛

Neurodivergence Plus 2026 for Neurodivergent Professionals | Social Connections Summit A 2-day virtual summit for late-identified neurodivergent professionals: perspectives that start where most neurodivergence content stops. Sept 23-24, 2026.

Let’s slow down and talk about autism, Tylenol, and what the research actually tells us. 💛
Claims that Tylenol causes autism to have created a lot of fear for parents and families. But an association is not the same as proving cause and effect. Current research does not establish that acetaminophen causes autism.

What do we know? Autism is complex, and genetics plays a major role. There is no single “autism gene,” and there are still so many researchers are learning.
Most importantly, parents should not be carrying guilt or blame.
Instead of asking, “Who or what caused this?”
Let’s ask, “What does this person need to belong and thrive?”

Acceptance.
Understanding.
Inclusive education.
Mental-health support.
Real opportunities to connect and thrive.
Knowledge over myths.
Understanding over blame.
Belonging over fear. 💛

Read the National Autistic Society’s guidance and look at the evidence for yourself:

Autism is genetic – and why this information matters now Dr Judith Brown is our Head of Autism Knowledge and Expertise. In this blog, she explains why our charity is updating our advice and guidance to state definitively that autism is genetic.

The next conversation is already taking shape. 👀

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been celebrating what happens when people come together through movement, community, and shared experiences.

And now, I’m excited to start looking ahead.

The Social Connections Summit.

At the heart of it is a question I keep coming back to:

What could happen if we became more intentional about how we connect with one another?

Not just creating spaces where people can show up—but creating spaces where people feel welcomed, included, heard, and like they truly belong.

We’ll be talking about relationships, community, accessibility, and what meaningful connection can look like in the spaces we share.

Because connection doesn’t always just happen.

Sometimes, we have to create the conditions for it.

We have to make room for people.
We have to think about who might be left out.
And we have to be willing to connect differently.

And you don’t have to figure out the next part by yourself.

Come be part of the conversation. 💛

I’d love to have you there.

You’ve spent so much time learning why you experience the world differently.

Maybe you finally understood the exhaustion behind masking.

The struggle to keep up with things that seem “easy” for everyone else.

The need for accommodations you once felt guilty asking for.

The difference between surviving at work and actually feeling like you belong there.

But understanding yourself is just the beginning.

What happens next?

That’s the conversation we’re having at the Social Connections Summit.

A virtual two-day gathering for late-identified neurodivergent professionals who want to go deeper—not just into neurodiversity, but into the real-life intersection of identity, biology, culture, work, relationships, and connection.

This isn’t another “Neurodiversity 101.”

It’s a space to explore what it means to build a life and career where you don’t have to constantly translate, hide, or explain yourself.
