Neurodivergent Support Group

Neurodivergent Support Group is a peer support group for autistic and other neurodivergent UTSA students.

The term, neurodivergent (often abbreviated as ND) describes people whose minds function in a manner different from traditional expectations. This support group is for autistic students and those with other neurodivergent identities like ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, sensory processing disorder, or other cognitive processing or developmental disabilities.  

Facilitated by a neurodivergent Wellbeing Services intern, these 60-minute meetings provide an opportunity for neurodivergent students to connect, discuss their experiences in college, and build coping skills. Topics are peer-led, but may include discussions of common college-related issues, such as transitioning to college, socializing with others, getting involved on campus, study skills, self-advocacy, time management, and executive functioning. 

This group recognizes neurodivergence as both a disability and part of many people's identities, and welcomes both professionally diagnosed and self-diagnosed neurodivergent students. Join us to build your neurodivergent community!

*This support meeting is a "closed" meeting, meaning only individuals who identify as autistic/on the autism spectrum or neurodivergent may attend.  We do not give extra credit for course work*
