About DC Peers
We create and run social meetups, workshops, support groups and other social opportunities for teens and adults, designed to foster belonging, neurodiversity awareness, and social-emotional growth among neurodiverse youth and adults in the DC area. Since we began as a free, all-volunteer neurodiversity “club” in 2016, we have continued to add groups we think our participants will like, usually in response to a participant request, or a passion of one of our neurodivergent staff members or volunteers.
Of course, the variety of interests, preferences, and needs in our teen and adult communities has been greater than the capacity of our tiny organization. We have long dreamed of having a drop-in community space, a “third place” between home and work/school where our neurodivergent folks can drop in, do something relaxing or engaging, bring or run into a friend, and most of all feel at home, as themselves — the way neurotypicals can do almost anywhere!
Soon (hopefully December 2024), our dream will start to come true, when we move into our very own community hub in Tenleytown! While we run our traditional groups this Fall from our old office (in the wonderful Hera Hub co-working space), we are currently working on our designs, plans, and a much-expanded schedule for January. Please join our mailing list (at the bottom of this website), so we can keep you posted!
