This class provides a safe and inclusive space for neurodivergent individuals within the kink community to explore strategies for effective communication, negotiation, and boundary-setting in the context of BDSM play. Led by an experienced kinkster, research psychologist, and neurodivergent individual, this workshop emphasizes practical skills tailored to the unique needs and perspectives of neurodiverse individuals. And best of all, it's okay to be neurodivergent! It's just a different normal.

This class will be recorded and specifically developed for ND people, though due to the wide range of differences, it may or may not be particularly tailored to you. Slides will be available, the recording will be available, and a note taking cheat sheet will be available.
