MAKING TIME
Making Time is a virtual working-together session that takes place on Zoom every monday morning. It’s for neurodivergent artists, writers and researchers. If you/your work falls slightly outside of these parameters but you feel like it’s for you, then it’s for you! You also do not have to have a diagnosis to join.

Grace Denton and I set up Making Time in 2022 because we felt that we needed help getting started with things we need to or want to do when we technically could be doing them at any time, and because we want to bring a bunch of neurodivergent artists and researchers together and hear about what each other are up to!
The regular Making Time sessions run from 10am to 12pm UK time every Monday except bank holidays and some other holidays. If the session is cancelled for any reason we will email to let you know.
The sessions usually run like this: for the first half hour we chat for a bit, then we say what we are planning to do for the session, and then we go away and do (or don’t) do that thing together apart for an hour. Then we come back at the end for half an hour to check in about how it went and chat a bit more.
There is never any pressure to be particularly productive! It’s not a support group but it is supportive, and people often ask for and receive advice and recommendations with both research/art/neurodivergent things and stuff that goes way beyond that.
There is no requirement to be doing art or research in any kind of official capacity, and you do not have to have any kind of diagnosis (or be in the process of getting one) to join.
