2025 has been a year of extraordinary growth and challenge for Neurokindred. As we reflect on our achievements and impact, I feel deep gratitude for the trust our neurokin have placed in us. It is a privilege and an honour to walk alongside you and to support our community.

Peer Support Community-compared to last year, we expanded from:
22 to 41 groups a month
110 to 371 sessions total
164 to 559.5 hours of support.
595 to 2907 attendances
17 to 20 facilitators

Thriving Autistically-compared to last year, we expanded from:
6 to 7 days
31 to 46 events
31 to 51 Autistic volunteer facilitators
15 to 19 sponsors
37 to 65 prizes
162 to 294 pre-registered
1519 event registrations
329 to 904 attendances

I want to sincerely thank all who have volunteered and collaborated with us past, present and continuing. Neurokindred would not be the same without you 🫶

Looking to 2026...

This coming year will be one of consolidation and refinement. Training new facilitators and refining our programs for efficiency and sustainability.

Just before the end of the year, we extended an invitation to new collaborators from our community and the response was overwhelming. I was moved to tears of gratitude that so many people have found what we offer here to be meaningful, and that they want to play a part in helping it continue.

I am looking forward to this new phase, to solidifying the foundations and deepening the connections that will sustain both our community and those who care for it.

Happy New Year 🎉

🎮 Video Game Hangout: A SpIns group for Autistics aged 15+ (or adult accompanied)-Holiday Drop-in

A relaxed peer space to connect through gaming. At the start we’ll share what games everyone is playing and what you’d like to get out of the session. Towards the end we’ll check in on how it went—what worked, what didn’t, and what you discovered.

You’re welcome to play the same game as others or something completely different - Minecraft, indie favourites, or whatever you enjoy. Conversation can be light or minimal; it’s fine just to hang out alongside each other. Screen sharing is welcome (please keep content safe-for-work).

If you’d just like to hang out in community doing something else (e.g. lego, collage, fibre arts, colouring etc) you are very welcome.

When: First Saturday of the month

Time: 1.00pm - 2.30pm (AEST - QLD)
2.00pm - 3.30pm (AEDT - NSW, Vic, Tas)
