About this Event
🌿 The NeuroNest Picnic in the Park 🌿
Parenting can be lonely…
Whether you’re raising a neurodivergent child or just navigating parenthood in general, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing it all on your own. Friendships change, understanding can be limited, and sometimes you just need to be around people who get it.
This is where The NeuroNest comes in 💛
We’re bringing our community outdoors for a gentle, no-pressure picnic in the park — a space to connect, breathe, and simply exist without judgement.
This event is especially welcoming to autistic, ADHD and neurodivergent individuals and families, but truly all families are welcome. If you are kind, open-minded and non-judgemental — you belong here 🫶
At the same time, we’re also raising awareness — creating visibility, understanding and acceptance for neurodivergent lives in a real, everyday setting.
🧺 What to expect:
- A relaxed, informal meet-up
- No structured activities (just go with the flow)
- Space for children to be themselves
- A chance to meet other parents and families
- Zero pressure — come and go as you need
🎒 What to bring:
- A blanket or something to sit on
- Snacks & drinks
- Fidgets, toys, games or comfort items
- Anything that helps you or your child feel at ease
