Welcome to the London Neurodivergent Friendship Group (LNFG) — a consciously shame-free community where Neurodivergent adults living in London UK, can find real friendships, connection, and belonging.
LNFG, established in 2022 by Jeanie Gee, has grown rapidly from a small gathering into a thriving community — a space where you don’t have to explain yourself, hide your needs, or pretend you’re fine when you’re not.
Now we’ve moved off MeetUp and into our new home here at LNFG.uk — building a future on our own terms.
At LNFG, we believe that true friendship starts with being allowed to be yourself.
We are consciously shame-free.
With us, don’t have to mask your neurodivergent traits, apologise for your needs, or feel like you’re “too much”.
Our core values are:
There’s no fixing, no judging, and no shaming.
You can stim, ramble, monologue about your special interests, go quiet mid-conversation, leave early , arrive late, and even cancel last minute. No shame or guilt tripping
LNFG is for neurodivergent adults who are tired of hiding themselves to fit in and want authentic friendships
Our community for people who are done with masking, done with overthinking every interaction, and ready to find friendships where they can show up exactly as they are.
We understand and accommodate for executive dysfunction, RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria), sensory sensitivities, and being low on spoons
We won’t make you feel bad for looking after yourself, taking time out and setting boundaries
We pick sensory-considerate venues, give clear information before events, and allow people to be themselves — no forced small talk, no pressure to perform, no guilt tripping for cancelling or arriving late
Our community is consciously shame-free.
Maybe that’s why members describe our group as life changing
Being in our group is about being seen and understood for who you are and being in a safe space to unmask and be yourself
‘In a word, it’s amazing — because in this kind of community, you actually find people who see the world the way you do, who react to the world the way you do, who respond to things the way you do, and who you can genuinely communicate with in a way that feels natural. You don’t have to hide who you are. You don’t have to mask or put on a different personality to meet the world’s expectations. You can be yourself, they can be themselves, and you can relate to each other as people — not as artificial roles defined by a society that thinks differently. That’s a huge relief for all of us. It’s a way of escaping the pressures we face day to day and being with people we can truly relate to.’

‘I feel a sense of belonging, loved, cared for, and everything I needed in my life. Before I was in this community, I didn’t socialise, didn’t have any social life whatsoever, didn’t belong anywhere. This is my true place, and I never judge anyone, and I like to feel that I give the same back.’ –

‘Being part of this London Neurodivergent Friendship Group is good. I get to feel that I’m part of something. I get to see there are lots of events that I can get involved in if I want to. And there are a lot of different types of things I can do as well. Whether it’s meeting up in East London or discussing things that are to do with my interests or… Different types of things I’d like to do. And yeah, it gives me more hope for building friendships, relationships in the future and feeling part of something.’

We run regular events across London, these include:
Pub lunches, Walks in parks and nature spots. Raves, Rollerskating, Bowling, Karaoke, Galleries, Gigs, Open mic performances, swimming, afternoon tea, cinema, and board games.
There is no pressure to attend any or all of the events, attend as many a few as you like.
We typically offer smaller weekly events. We throw a big party event every couple of months, which is always fully accessible
There’s no obligation to attend everything — come when it feels right for you.
We choose venues carefully: our events are a sensory friendly as possible with low lighting, quieter spaces, minimal sensory overload.
You’re welcome to bring your sensory aids, your fidget toys, your headphones — whatever you need to feel safe and comfortable.
You can show up late, you can leave early, you can stay silent all night if that’s what you need.
There is no “wrong” way to be here.
