Neuro Dating

Hey legends,

Bit of an uplifting one: a new kind of dating event is kicking off in NSW for people who are neurodivergent—and honestly, it’s one of the more thoughtful, inclusive things I’ve seen in the dating space.

It’s called Neuro Dating, and it’s being held in the Southern Highlands, designed by neurodivergent people for neurodivergent people. It completely flips the typical dating script.

🧠💬 Instead of noisy bars or awkward app meetups, here’s what you get:

Chill arrival with sensory map, name tags + support staff

Zones for connection and decompression

Structured social games you can opt in or out of

BYO Switch gaming corner, board games, cupcake decorating, painting, fidget bowls

Calming music, fireplaces, art therapy-style activities

All gender identities, all abilities, all sensory preferences respected

📅 Confirmed Dates:

Aug 3: ND singles (higher-functioning group)

Aug 21: Higher needs ND community (disability-inclusive)

Aug 24: Second ND singles day (new group of attendees)

🥂 Tickets include:

Welcome drink + food

Take-home comfort item (token, plushie, or activity)

Choice to attend one session or all

100% judgment-free, masking-optional environment

🚉 Located about 90 mins south of Sydney with carpool and train options.

💚 Supported by local businesses & neurodivergent advocates who are truly making space for connection, not just “awareness.”
