Rise As We Are Community

Rise As We Are is a neurodivergent-led non-profit organisation supporting Autistic individuals and those with ADHD and AuDHD, as well as their families and caregivers.

Our online community is...

NOW LIVE!

We're thrilled to announce that our brand new online community is ready to welcome you in. This is the place for neurodivergent adults and the families and caregivers of neurodivergent people to chat, learn, support and thrive.

Spread the news. Tell your friends and family. Together we can make this a supportive and vibrant space where we can all Rise As We Are!

We've teamed up with Heartbeat - the community platform that allows us to deliver our services to our neurodivergent members in one easy to access and convenient place.

And because Heartbeat has so many cool features, we've been able to develop even more exciting ideas, offering community members more helpful and supportive content, more safe spaces, and more opportunities to connect with other people just like you.

Community membership costs just £5.99/month

You don't need to have an official diagnosis to receive our support. If you identify as having a neuro-difference, or if you're exploring the possibility, that's good enough for us. And if you're a parent, partner or caregiver to a neurodivergent person, we can support you too. So long as you're 18 years old or above, then no matter where you are on your journey, you're more than welcome to join us.

As a members-only community, we can offer you safe spaces away from public viewing and without any judgement.

Joining our community is simple. Just click on the button below to register with Heartbeat with only your email address, make your payment and then complete our sign up to access everything we have to offer.

Terms and Conditions

Here's what our community is offering its members:

chatrooms

One platform with several chatrooms to safely discuss all things neurodiverse and more. Socialise, make friends, offer and receive peer-support and encouragement with like-minded people.

professional support

Our Autism, ADHD and AuDHD specialists will be on hand every day to provide expert advice, guidance and solutions when you need it. And it's not all about work - we're here for the fun too!

events

Our neurodiversity experts will be hosting regular webinars on a wide variety of topics, with occasional guest speakers too. And with online Q&A sessions, Challenges, Craft Club and more, there's something for everyone.

workshops

Members receive subsidised prices for our workshops, where our Autism, ADHD and AuDHD specialists teach key neurodivergent and lifestyle topics with take-away strategies that you can benefit from.

private groups

We've also created quieter chatrooms for women, men and our LGBTQ+ members to connect, discuss and explore more sensitive topics without any judgement and away from the wider community.

resources

We're developing a large collection of useful information on neurodiversity and lifestyle topics, with a search feature to help you quickly find what you're looking for. And our helpful webinar content will be archived too.

safety

Safety of all members is our top priority. The community will be moderated by our trained and dedicated team, and our Code of Conduct helps to ensure we can all enjoy and benefit from the experience.

thrive

A key component of our community is our goal - we want to help neurodivergent people and their families embrace their differences, manage or even overcome their challenges, and celebrate their achievements.

When you're living with a neuro-difference, life can be frustrating and full of challenges. We're neurodivergent ourselves so we completely get it.

And we know that getting the help and support you really want can be difficult. Even more so if your autism, ADHD or AuDHD has the added complexities of anxiety, depression, OCD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, Tourette's, PDA, ODD, addictions...

Getting information is one thing, but if it doesn't work for who you are and the way your brain is uniquely wired, you're pretty much left on your own to figure it all out.

But this is where Rise As We Are aim to make a difference. We want to give you factual information, advice that really helps, guidance that really works. And most of all give you the on-going support and encouragement to learn, develop and succeed.

We are who we are, but with the right support we can all Rise As We Are!

Interested?

You get all of this for just £5.99/month.

Rise As We Are is a non-profit organisation that values the people we support and invests in what we do. We understand that every autistic individual and those with ADHD or AuDHD (including their families) can't always do it alone.

But as a collective, as a community, we can support, encourage and propel one another towards a life where all of us feel confident in who we are and empowered to succeed and thrive.

Signing up to our community could be your first step on an exciting and rewarding journey. And we're here to be a part of that journey.
