Looking for autism support that is actually led by Autistic people? NeuroHub Connect is a UK-based, neurodivergent-led organisation offering peer support, community, training and resources for Autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent adults, and for the professionals and families who support them.
There are a lot of organisations that claim to support neurodivergent people. Far fewer are actually built by us, for us; grounded in our own lived experience of a world that was never designed with us in mind.
NeuroHub Connect was founded in January 2026 to create a genuinely neurodivergent-led space where Autistic and neurodivergent people, and the professionals who work alongside them, can find support that respects who they are.

A tool we recommend
Can’t tell how stressed you are until you’ve already crashed?
Lots of neurodivergent people find their body’s signals hard to read. You might not notice a hard week building until you hit the wall, or be unable to tell a restful night from a wrecked one until the day is half gone.
PhiliaSense turns what your body does overnight into a calm, clear picture of your sleep and stress, measured against your own normal, not an average. No buzzing, no scolding, no streaks to keep. It was built with neurodivergent people, and one of its co-founders is neurodivergent.
1. Wear it to bed
A Garmin Vívosmart 5 band records your heart rate, heart-rate variability and sleep overnight. You don’t have to wear it all day.
2. Tag your days
Mark moments as they happen: a loud meeting, a shutdown, a quiet day at home.
3. See what lines up
Each morning, see where your body is against your own baseline, next to what you tagged. Over the weeks, patterns appear.
Founding price: US$49 a year (usually US$99). The Garmin Vívosmart 5 band is bought separately. For adults.

Our impact on Autistic and neurodivergent lives
Neurodivergent people are more able to thrive when they can find community. Our members frequently tell us about real connection, genuine support and a decreased need to mask. And because we specialise in the intersections others avoid, our work also reaches the places where decisions about neurodivergent people are made.

Our ethos
Neurodivergent people deserve more than tolerance. Genuine inclusion means changing systems, not people. Our work draws on the double empathy problem, monotropism, neuroqueer theory and an ecosystemic understanding of distress, so we will never ask you to mask, comply or perform neurotypicality in order to receive support.
We are not here to make you more palatable to a world that should already be making room for you. We are here to walk alongside you as you work out what a good life looks like on your own terms. NeuroHub is here, and it was built with you in mind.
