Philly Neurodivergent Meetup March 2026 with FREE DATING ADVICE

Still always the 2nd Sunday of the month, still the same awesome people, but now...12-1 PM is our low-key social coffee hour at american grammar(2046 N. Front St., Philadelphia, PA 19122)1-4 PM we will move on to BUBS, a board game shop and community space that will have all to ourselves for a lunch-time hang out(102 W. Berks St., Philadelphia, PA 19122)Everyone is welcome to join us for a casual hang out and open forum for advice, discussion, or just to chat. As usual, all topics are welcome! If you have something specific you'd like to discuss but want me (Shelby) to start the conversation, please message me directly about it!The suggested topic to think about is “what does advocacy/activism look like for you?” Activism isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing and I think it would be helpful for folks to share the ways that they advocate and/or protest (for any causes). As always, this is just a potential topic for the afternoon, any others are welcome and conversation will evolve however it does. Nothing formal planned for the February meetup however I will probably pull out some more games at BUBS for those who wanna play! And I have to reiterate - PLEASE WEAR GOOD SHOES IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ATTENDING BOTH PARTS OF THE EVENT! Generally sidewalks are cleared but it’s just as rough here as the rest of the city, so if you plan on walking the two blocks from American grammar to BUBS, be prepared &amp; be safe! If you would only like to attend one part, that’s fine too, wear wherever you want!Hope to see you! All Dx and self-Dx welcome!
