Register for NeuroSpicy Connections with Neurodivergent Friends™
Join Neurodivergent Friends™ for a social night designed exclusively for neurodivergent individuals. This is a for-us-by-us event where we connect, share our interests, and build a community that truly understands us. Whether it’s hobbies, special interests, or just finding others who "get it," this is our space—no need to mask or explain. 

Event Details:
Date: Second Friday of the Month
Time: 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM

• Teens and adults (no age ceiling) will have separate spaces available.
  Location: CTBS, 315 East Avenue D Killeen, TX
  Cost: Free (Donations encouraged for those who are able)
  Registration Required: Tickets are free, but registration is mandatory.

What to Expect:

T-Rex Arms and Happy Feet Welcome!

• Hobby and Special Interest Sharing: Bring your hobbies—games, action figures, art supplies, tablets—and connect with others who love what you love. This space allows info-dumping, sharing obscure hobbies, and discovering shared passions. If enough people share a passion, it might inspire a new event! 

• Comfort First: Bring whatever makes you comfortable—noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, or a hoodie inside—it’s your space to feel at ease.

• Our Spaces: Any attendee requiring age-based segregation for legal or personal reasons can be accommodated, as we can work with multiple spaces in our large setting. 

• No Children Under 13: We cannot accommodate children under 13 due to space comfort and staffing concerns. If you want to volunteer for an event for those under 13, please sign up here: https://www.neurodivergentfriends.org/get-involved/volunteer.

• Behavior and Safety Concerns: We strive to maintain a safe, comfortable environment for all. While we understand that different behaviors may arise, we cannot accommodate actions that compromise the safety and comfort of the group.

• Consult with Neurodivergent Friends™: During the event, Neurodivergent Friends will be available to chat with self-advocates, caregivers, and parents about community resources and referrals.

• Exclusive to Neurodivergent Individuals: This event is for neurodivergent participants only. Neurotypical guests are welcome only if they are in a supportive role—like a caregiver, significant other, date, or friend invited by a Neurodivergent Friend. We do have areas to wait. 

• Community Resource Tables: Organizations and vendors are invited to set up tables to showcase their services. Background check verification can be provided through your professional license or organization or by registering to volunteer at our Harker Heights Library events.

• Food Policy: Attendees can bring fast food, snacks, or bagged meals. Please clean up after yourself—we will leave the place better than we found it!

• Sponsorship Opportunities: We encourage sponsorships of dinners and snacks to be served at our monthly events.

• Participation Waiver: Everyone must complete a waiver before participating.

• Parents & Caregivers: Enjoy a date night or socialize with other parents while you wait. 

Support Our Event:
While the event is free, we welcome donations to help cover the costs. Every bit helps us keep this space going for our community.

We’re excited to see you there—because Here, you belong!™
