NeuroMinds Collective

NeuroMinds Collective is a safe haven where your neurodiversity is celebrated, understood, and supported. We're a community of students who share diverse cognitive profiles, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and more. Our aim is to build a tight-knit network where you can freely express your thoughts, concerns, and achievements in a judgment-free zone. 

What we offer

  • Shared Understanding: Connect with fellow students who experience the world through a similar lens. Share your stories and experiences and gain valuable insights from others who truly understand. 
  • Peer Support: Whether you're navigating through academic challenges, social interactions, or simply need a listening ear, our group is here to provide the understanding and encouragement you deserve. 
  • Resource Exchange: Discover strategies, tips, and resources that have worked for others in managing your unique strengths and challenges within the university environment. 

Facilitators

Chris (he/him) I’m a Workplace Anti-Sexual Harassment Educator working in the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO). I’ve spent the last 20 years working with individuals with various cognitive and physical disabilities with a special interest in supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. My journey with neurodiversity includes living with Sensory Processing Disorder, OCD, and PTSD. For me, navigating the world with its sights and sounds (especially the sounds!!) can be difficult in a way I often struggle to put into words. I’m excited to co-facilitate this group with Rania and share what I’ve learned in my own life while also learning from group participants. 

Rania (she/her) Hello! My name is Rania (she/her) and I identify as a queer, neurodivergent, Palestinian-Egyptian and Filipino cis-woman. I’m also a Registered Social Worker, counsellor at Counselling Services, UW alum, and co-facilitator of this group alongside Chris.  

I’m inspired by the incredible advocates and scholars of the neurodiversity-affirming movement, sharing their lived experiences and research and shifting the dialogues on what we know and how we think about neurodiversity. It has empowered me to embrace my neurodivergence as a beautiful part of who I am, and that’s exactly what I hope to cultivate with you!  

Who can join?

Open to any and all self-identified neurodivergent UWaterloo students. No diagnosis necessary.
