“A diagnosis can explain a lot, but for many people, support ends there. Neuro-Café was created so nobody has to navigate it alone.”
Tim, Founder of Neuro-Café
Our story
About Neuro-Café
We exist because getting a diagnosis is only the beginning, and for too many people, it can feel like the end of any real support.
Why Neuro-Café exists
Neuro-Café was founded by Tim, a late-diagnosed neurodivergent man who, like so many others, found himself without support after his diagnosis. A diagnosis can explain a great deal - but for many people, it marks the point where formal support ends.
That experience, and the realisation of how many others share it, led to Neuro-Café. A free, community-led space where neurodivergent people, their families and the professionals who support them can come together, ask questions and feel genuinely supported.
We are not a clinical service. We are a community. And we believe that community is exactly what is missing.
What we stand for
Free, always
Information and community should never have a price tag. Our events are free and always will be. We will never sell to you.
No jargon
We talk in plain English. No clinical language, no acronym soup. Just honest, clear, helpful conversation.
Lived experience at the centre
Neuro-Café was built by someone who has been through it. That lived experience informs everything we do.
Genuinely welcoming
Diagnosed or not. Adult or child. Family member or professional. You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
Connected to real expertise
We bring qualified professionals to our events, not to sell, but to share knowledge and signpost people in the right direction.
What we are not
Let us be clear
Neuro-Café provides informal support, education, signposting and community connection. It does not provide medical diagnosis, clinical treatment, legal advice or crisis support.
Not a medical service
We do not diagnose, prescribe or provide clinical treatment. Please see your GP or a qualified clinician for medical matters.
Not a crisis line
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 999 or contact a crisis service such as Samaritans on 116 123.
Not a legal service
We do not provide legal advice. For legal matters relating to education, employment or healthcare, please consult a qualified solicitor or advocate.
A community that cares
We are here to connect, inform and support. We will always point you in the right direction, even if that direction is elsewhere.
