For Neurodivergent Adults Who Are Looking to Connect

Socialising, On Your Own Terms.

No masking, no pressure, just authentic connections

Step into a gamer’s paradise! We’ll have a mix of arcade and console games, plus retro favourites to spark fun and connection. Perfect for co-op play, casual challenges, or simply hanging out.

Sunday November 16 | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM | The Venue

Consent-led

Inclusive & Relaxed

What You'll Experience

Gaming Lounge

Settle into the gaming lounge with co-op and retro setups. Jump into multiplayer fun, team up with others, or just watch and vibe. Play at your own pace, there's no wrong way to game here.

Chill & Connect

Need a screen break? Grab some LEGO, tackle a puzzle, or try the connection cards if you're feeling chatty. Prefer to just observe? That works too. Everything's opt-in, nothing's forced.

Your Comfort, Your Call

Stay in the gaming zone, hang in the quiet area, or float between both. Need headphones? Bring them. Want to recharge solo? We've got space for that. This is your time, your way.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We understand the importance of clarity and are here to provide answers to your most common queries.

What are Neuro Awesome events?

Neuro Awesome events are safe, low-pressure gatherings designed by and for neurodivergent people (and allies). They’re about building connection, friendship, and community in ways that feel comfortable and authentic.

Who can come?

Our events are open to neurodivergent adults of all ages and experiences, as well as allies who respect our values of inclusion, consent, and safety.

Do I have to join in all the activities?

Not at all. 💜 Our events are self-paced. You choose what feels right for you — whether that’s joining a game, having a chat, or simply relaxing in a quiet space.

What if I feel anxious or need a break?

We’ve got you. Every event has quiet zones and sensory-considerate spaces where you can step away and recharge. Our facilitators are always nearby if you’d like support.

Is this a dating event?

Neuro Awesome began with the idea of helping neurodivergent people find love, and that’s still part of our journey. But our events are broader than dating — they’re about connection in all forms: friendship, community, and belonging.

What about consent and safety?

Consent and safety are at the heart of everything we do. You’re always in control of your experience: no one will pressure you to share, participate, or connect in ways that don’t feel right. Respectful behaviour is expected from all participants.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just yourself! For some events you might want to bring water, a hat, or sunscreen if outdoors. We’ll include any special notes in your event confirmation.

How much do tickets cost?

Ticket prices vary depending on the event. We keep costs as low as possible thanks to our volunteers and sponsors, and your ticket goes directly toward making our events safe and accessible.

Can I come if I don’t know anyone?

Yes! Many people come on their own, and our facilitators are there to help with introductions and icebreakers. You’ll never be left out.

How are events supported?

Neuro Awesome is powered by volunteers, local businesses, and community sponsors. We’re grateful to partners like The Robertson Hotel, Growwild Wildflower Farm, The Fold Southern Highlands, and others who believe in building inclusion.
