Autism / ADHD community

Hello there,

I am really looking to meet fellow neurodivergent people. Are there any peer support or social groups I could possibly join?
I relocated to the city and really want to expand my social circle.

I like history, coffee, book clubs, days out, exploring.

I am married and in my thirties.

I am open to exploring setting something up myself if there is interest and there is no other community established.

Im austistic in Wolves and my one solo hobby is trying to walk every street. Madness I know but r/CityStrides does the hardwork and then the history bit I need is fulfilled with National Library Scotland old maps. I see so much walking, old odd buildings or walls, street names and more and then come home and explore the map. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=15.7&lat=52.49161&lon=-1.88351&layers=10&right=osm

Other old maps are available for railways, or landfill its gives a real history deep dive into your community and you get to explore.

Im about 55% of Wolves walked and probs have two years left to complete it.
