Alexis runs several events for her local community, focused on providing a safe space and stepping stone for neurodivergent people to get involved in the wider community, all on a voluntary basis.
She organises a board games social, where the board games help make socialising a little easier by providing a focus and talking point. The event starts with small group games and progresses to team games that involve everyone once people have got to know each other a bit.
She also co-runs a poetry jam for LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent creatives to share their poetry in a supportive space.
She also has a new social focused on RPGs in the works, again for ND folks to learn and/or play RPGs with people who are understanding and compassionate of different neurotypes.
Finding community and feeling accepted is so important for general wellbeing, which is why community focused things like these make such a difference to people’s lives and volunteers like Alexis help make them happen.
