October Neuro Night
October 8, 2026, 6:30pm-8:30pm

AMA with Dr. Bowen Marshall!

This event will be both in-person AND virtual!

We’ll have Dr. Bowen with us at Merry Pin and will also have an online web conference to make this special event accessible to as many neurodivergent people as possible.

Join us at our first hybrid in-person and online Neuro Night for an AMA (Ask Me Anything*) with special guest Dr. Bowen Marshall, PhD! He has generously offered his time to answer your questions.
*about ADHD, Autism, and neurodivergence

Dr. Marshall is a licensed psychotherapist, author, and consultant specializing in ADHD, Autism, relationships, and trauma.

As part of his work, he advocates for a more nuanced understanding of Autism and ADHD as identities beyond diagnosis.

You can find him on YouTube and Substack. His feeds on both are well worth the follow!

Wearing Our Masks All Year:
Autistic and ADHD Masking Isn’t Just for Halloween
October 22, 2026, 6:30pm-8:30pm

Tara will present on Autistic and ADHD masking: what masking looks like, why Autistic and ADHD people mask, how it affects them, and how to support someone who is working on unmasking.

There will be a Q&A/discussion afterwards, and Merry Pin will provide everything you need to make a fun Halloween mask during the event!
