Make a new friend 💓

I’m hosting an online gift exchange for Neurodivergent adults of all genders! It’s hard for all of us, so let’s connect!

Here’s how it works:

• Sign up by March 9, 2025 to be matched with a gift partner.

• You and your partner will create and send each other a homemade gift. Any craft or skill is welcome, whether it’s knitting, painting, woodworking, or something else.

• On April 12, 2025, at 1 p.m. EST, join our optional virtual show-and-tell to share your creations and connect with other participants.

This is a U.S.-only event, open to all skill levels, and a great way to meet like-minded individuals through creativity and care. In these difficult times, building and supporting our community matters more than ever, and this is a special opportunity to spread kindness through the joy of giving.
