Who is the Neurodivergent District group for?
This community is for anyone in or near the Washington, D.C. metro area that is genuinely seeking new friendships based on mutual trust, respect and acceptance. Currently, the majority of our members are between the ages of 25 and 45, and while the group is predominantly male, we’ve been pleased to welcome more women and non-binary folks in recent months. Whether you have a formal neurodivergent diagnosis, feel neurodivergent without one, or simply wish to meet new people, you’ll find a place here. Join us at www.neurodivergentdistrict.com.
Meet the Organizer
Kate Inez Harrington founded this group over a year ago after struggling to find welcoming, inclusive, and joyful spaces for her clients seeking community. She created this space to offer a supportive environment, and the group has been growing ever since. You can learn more about her work and contact her at **harringtonmatchmaking.com.**
Group Expectations
Our group aims to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and respected. In return, we ask members to extend acceptance and kindness, especially to new members, as we know it takes courage to join a new group. We expect everyone to show respect and tolerance, even if others may present or behave differently than expected. However, harassment, racism, and disrespectful behavior of any kind are simply not tolerated. To stay connected, we encourage members to join our WhatsApp chat (https://chat.whatsapp.com/lJ2Kee9rElw9e2l1smidOE), as Meetup’s interface can be limiting for group communication. If you’re able, please consider supporting the group financially to help cover event costs and expenses like Meetup’s organizer fees, party supplies and refreshments, and venue reservations. This helps keep events affordable and reduces the financial burden on our organizers.
"Dating" is in the group name. Do I need to be single to join?
Not at all! You don’t need to be single to join—many members are here to make friends and aren’t focused on romantic relationships. However, if you’re interested in connecting with other singles, you can join our Facebook group or be added to Kate’s free singles database, where you may be matched with one of her matchmaking clients in the future.

Each ticket was $15 (the museum’s suggested donation). To reserve your spot:
- RSVP “Yes” here on Meetup.

We’ll meet at 3:45 pm for our 4:00pm entry. Please arrive on time — anyone arriving after 4:00pm may risk not being able to join, as we’ll already be inside exploring the museum together.
