Philadelphia Events for Every Neurodiverse Mind

Divertical Philly helps autistic and otherwise neurodivergent adults in the Philadelphia community to find community and support—without the small talk or sensory overload.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Divertical is for autistic and otherwise neurodivergent adults (18+). You don’t need a formal diagnosis to join—self-diagnosis and questioning are completely valid.

  • While Divertical centers autistic experiences, we also welcome people with ADHD, OCD, sensory processing disorders, or anyone who finds typical social settings hard to navigate.

  • Nope! You're welcome to participate at your own pace. Some folks chat, some play games, some just listen or observe. It’s all okay.

  • Right now, we’re a grassroots collective run by volunteers. Our long-term goal is to become a formal nonprofit to better support our community.
