About Us | Queer Neurodivergents and Alternatives {QNDA}

Welcome to our vibrant 18+ social group for queer folks who are also neurodivergent and/or alternative.

 We are based in London! We’re all about creating a warm and welcoming safe space where you can relax, connect, and have fun with like-minded people without worrying about being judged for being "different."

​

"Queer" is a broad term that embraces everyone under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella, and "neurodivergent" includes those who feel their brains work a bit differently—no formal diagnosis needed! This covers a wide range of experiences, including:

- Autism
- Attention deficits
- Personality disorders (like DID and BPD)​

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit in at traditional queer or neurotypical events, you’re definitely in the right place!

​

At our events, you’ll see our friendly hosts wearing QNDA badges with their names, so you can easily reach out if you need any help or support. If you’re visually impaired, please feel free to contact us in advance, and we’ll make an effort to check in with you during the event if you want us to.

​

We believe in keeping it simple and positive! Our guidelines focus on kindness and compassion. If someone tells you that your words or actions are making them uncomfortable, please take a moment to adjust. And if you need to stim or self-soothe, go ahead—your comfort comes first!

We also prioritize choosing venues that are accessible for neurodivergent individuals and those with limited mobility. We’re on the lookout for affordable spots since we know not everyone has the same financial means.

​

Your experiences matter to us, and we love spreading the word about our events! If you have a great time, please tag us in your selfies or photos on social media. Whether it’s a fun group shot (with people’s permission!) or snapshots of your amazing creations from our relaxed activities, we’d love to see them!

Got a fantastic suggestion for a quiet and accessible venue, especially one that’s queer-friendly? We’d be thrilled to hear it! You can share your ideas with a host at any event or reach out through our contact page. Plus, we have an Anonymous Survey to help us ensure we’re meeting your needs and boundaries.

We can’t wait to see you at our next event—come join the fun!
