Bel Air, Maryland 21015Dating While Neurodiverse for Adults 18+–
Dating While Neurodiverse for Adults 18+Building friendships and sharing special moments with a bestie is amazing...but what happens when we want something more? How do we go about doing this? How do we even know what we want? How do we go about this safely?
Join us for an 8-week class for neurodiverse adults ages 18+ where we talk about it all! We'll cover everything from the social nuances of dating and navigating relationships to sexual education, consent, and appropriate ways to communicate. This will be a judgment-free zone where neurodiverse individuals can share their anxieties and fears while asking the questions some have been too embarrassed to ask.
Class will be held at Barrier-Free's Life Skills & Social Studio - 7520 Main St #103 Sykesville, MD 21784. Class tuition is $80. We offer a two-class trial period, details at the link!
