People who get it
Hi! If you’re Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or otherwise wired differently, welcome. We’re a peer-led group, in ASL, meeting biweekly. No therapy, no diagnosis required, no masking needed.
We meet in ASL on purpose. Access to interpreters is limited and often expensive, and a lot of us are tired of waiting on someone else to make a room usable. This is a space where ASL is just how we talk, not an accommodation we have to ask for.
We don’t believe in rigidity, productivity pressure, or trying to fix who you are. Just show up and see how it goes.
Why this group exists
I started this because I needed it too. I couldn’t find anything in ASL for adults with ADHD or autism.
I’m both an internal processor and a verbal processor: I need to talk things through with people, over and over, while also quietly analyzing every detail on my own. I’m an extreme rule-follower who also acts on impulse, which mostly just makes me mad at myself. A living contradiction. An extroverted introvert.
So… I’m an open book until I’m closed? If any of this feels familiar, come sit with us.
