September Neuro Night
September 10, 2026, 6:30-8:30pm
This month — “Things My Therapist Says!”
We’ll be sharing our favorite tips, guidance, and more from our favorite therapists! You’ll get to learn from and help other neurodivergent folk, build community, and hang out with people who don’t expect you to mask.
Registration is not required, but makes it easier for us to plan.
October Neuro Night
October 8, 2026, 6:30pm-8:30pm
AMA with Dr. Bowen Marshall!
This will be a virtual event and MAY also be in person with Dr. Marshall! Stay tuned for updates!
Join us at our first 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 more than worth the follow!
The meeting will be live at approximately 6:30pm ET on 10/8/26.
Registration is not required, but makes it easier for us to plan.
