Are there any meet ups or groups to hang out with for neurodivergent adults?

They used to have something with Easter Seals a few years ago but that isn't there anymore. Thompson Center is only for kids. Looking to make new friends/meet people who are also neurodivergent. Specifically autistic and adhd if possible. Thanks! :)

Does anyone have any bouncy balls that I could have for free or a very low price?

Hi! I am looking for bouncy balls to fill the base of my table lamp still. It’s a decent sized base. I would greatly appreciate it if you could give them to me for free or for very cheap. I want to avoid buying them from Amazon or another big company as much as I can. They would be the small bouncy balls like the ones in the picture on this post. Thanks so much for your help.

Do you have a cooling pillow? If so, which one do you have and what are the pros and cons about the one you have? Thanks! 🙂

Preferably one that actually stays cool and doesn't cost a crap ton of money. Thank you!! :)

Okay. *deep breath.* if you make it through this whole thing; thank you so much.

I live in Columbia, mo. I’m 37 and a woman. I am open to any gender.

I don’t want to move because I have my support system here and I do love living here. I am open to someone moving here to be with me though or moving somewhere 30min-45min away max.

I am asexual. For me that means I don’t want to have penetrative sex. Penetrative sex means I don’t want anyone’s penis anywhere inside of me.

As for physical touch- I want hand holding, cuddling, hugs, and forehead kisses. We can work up to fondling and touching but that takes a while for me to work up to.

I don’t want to be in a polyamorous relationship because I have trust issues and I don’t share. I don’t judge anyone who is in one or wants to be in one. It’s just not my thing personally.

I’m not comfortable with weed. I don’t judge people who are. It also just smells awful.

I don’t want kids. Everyone should have the choice to have kids or not.

I don’t want pets of my own because I take the responsibility so seriously it gives me major anxiety.

I am autistic and adhd, or audhd.

I don’t want to spend time with people who drink a lot because it makes me feel responsible for their safety and wellbeing. Which is good of me to want to help and be there for them. It’s just not really good with my anxiety.

I need to be friends first and work towards dating. Hopefully turning into a committed relationship eventually. I don’t want big gestures because I don’t like being in the spotlight. I want to be around people who are kind, thoughtful, funny, empathic, patient, calm, have some similar interests, willing to work and grow together. Willing to try to understand each other and be there for each other. Obviously we can’t be those things 24/7 and we can try to be those things as often as humanly possible.

If you voted for Trump the first time because you wanted someone other than a politician, I’m mostly okay with that. If you kept voting for him, please don’t bother me.

I really love music and singing my heart out to it. It is one of the best ways to help me feel better and work through my emotions. I love stories- in books; movies; and tv shows. I like to travel when I can and I like coming back home. I can be a bit of a homebody. I like to go thrifting. I like to go to the movies. I am trying to get back into reading and gaming. I love being outside on a nice day even through my allergies hate me lol. I like to have deep conversations and joke around. I love animals so much especially dogs. I am a picky eater. I don’t like chocolate and soda.

Do you ever get lonely on your period?

I live alone and I’m single. Which i‘m honestly totally fine with most of the time and I’m really proud of my independence. The loneliness just hits sometimes. I think it can hit more often when I’m on my period which makes sense in a way because of the hormones changing and all that. Sometimes when I’m on my period, I come home and just want to be held. I guess I really just want to know if anyone feels this who also lives alone and is single? and if anyone feels this more when they are on their period? thank you.

Can someone please help me figure out the name of this tv show?

This was a mini-series/one season tv show on Netflix that came out in 2021 or 2022 I think or at least that's when I watched it. I'm pretty sure they all speak Spanish. If they don't speak Spanish, it isn't English. It takes place in a dark, rainy, small forest town. Maybe in the mountains? There is a woman detective who works with two guys. I'm not sure if she is actually a detective or not. It's a whole thriller/crime thing. I am searching on Google but I haven't found it yet. Maybe it came out sooner than 2021? I will start searching that too. Thanks!

What are some tips for figuring out how to balance people time and recharging time?

I tend to need people time but not doing anything super sensory overload with the people. I need to take breaks. But how do you figure out how to know when you need to take a break? Especially with late diagnosed people. I just have kind of powered through it all. I definitely don't always handle it all the best and kindest every time. But no one does, no matter what they have going on you know? Thanks for your help.

I know that there probably isn’t- but I’m going to ask anyway- are there any places that take Mizzou UnitedHealth insurance that can look at my sinuses and help me without me having to pay $500+ out of pocket to get a CT scan of my sinuses before seeing the doctor?

Are there any massage therapists in Columbia mo or 30 minutes or less away that are familiar with neurodivergent clients?

I’ve never had a massage before but I’ve been thinking about it for the past few months. I’m also audhd and I would not want to take off my clothes.
