Finding Your Place: Neurodivergency in Kink

Running Time:
2 hour 9 minutes

Did you know that 15-20 percent of the world’s population identifies as some form of neurodivergent and even more who exhibit signs? This striking statistic highlights the vast human experience and indicates that you or someone you interact with could uniquely benefit from our workshop in ways you never even thought of! This class is designed to help you embrace diverse perspectives and better understand atypical individuals, particularly in the context of kink. We will be discussing the expansive spectrum that encompasses various classifications, including but not limited to autism, ADHD, C-PTSD, dyslexia, and more. The crossover between neurodivergence and alternative sexual expression is remarkable, with many finding BDSM to be a place of empowerment. Let’s uncover the healing and affirming potential that these spaces can offer. We invite you to delve into the intersections of these communities and discover how it can enrich and elevate your relationships, play encounters, and self-awareness. Whether you are a neurominority yourself or identify as neurotypical, our time together will offer valuable insights from neurospicy educators, ready to share their personal stories and knowledge.
