Neuro-divergent and finding it hard to make friends? It’s not just you.
Hey friend,
🌍 We’re All a Bit More Isolated These Days
Post-pandemic life reshaped everything—how we socialize, where we feel safe, and how we spend our time. A lot of us are wondering:
“Where do you even meet people to be friends with?”
If you feel like your world got quieter and more distant, you're not alone.
🧠 And Then There’s Being Neurodivergent...
Making (and keeping) friends as an adult is already tough—but when you’re neurodivergent, it can feel next to impossible.
Whether it's masking, missed social cues, inconsistent energy, or the deep fear of rejection… it's exhausting.
You might find yourself asking:
Am I too much?
Did I overshare again?
Why do I always feel left out, even when I’m included?
💬 Real Connection Shouldn’t Be This Hard
We crave authenticity.
We want friendships that feel:
Safe, not draining
Spacious, not performative
Soft, not small talk
We want to be around people who get it—and get us.
🌱 That’s Why I Created A Patreon Space
A Shift in Focus is more than a Patreon—it’s a community for creative, neurodivergent adults who are craving:
Real conversations
Gentle connection
Shared laughter, shared quiet
A space where you don’t have to explain how your brain works
💸 Intentional, Affordable, and Safe
I’ve made membership as accessible as possible, so you can join chats, access content, and connect—without breaking the bank.
At the same time, that small monthly subscription helps protect the space.
People who are only here to troll, lurk, or harm others tend to self-select out when there’s a paywall. That means fewer distractions, and more genuine connection. 💛
