SpLinter Group is a peer led community group offering group activities, 1-2-1 support and advocacy focussed on neurodivergent young adults. There are in person and online activities including a monthly gaming session, Sunday night online sessions every week and two groups for women called SpLinter Sister groups. We advocate for ourselves and our interests with strategy groups. We are developing an information hub targeting relevant information and support to neurodivergent young adults.
