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.
