HOW OUR GROUPS WORK
What neurodivergent support groups offer
Neurodivergent support groups bring together people who share the lived experience of being wired differently — ADHD, autism, and the masking, sensory overload, and burnout that often come with them. Instead of explaining yourself from scratch, you start from being understood.
Our groups are small and facilitated by a clinician who keeps the space safe, structured, and free of pressure to perform. Sessions blend honest conversation with practical strategy-sharing — how others handle sensory overwhelm, executive-function roadblocks, work, and relationships — alongside genuine connection. You can speak or simply listen, join with your camera on or off, and take part in whatever way fits your energy that day.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE SCIENCEWORKS
Built on connection, not correction
Because we're independent, our groups are built around what members actually need — not billing codes or a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Every group is facilitated by a clinician who understands neurodivergence — not an unmoderated peer chat left to run itself.
Groups meet by secure telehealth across Tennessee, so connection reaches you without the energy cost of getting somewhere.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions
Are the groups online or in person?
ScienceWorks runs neurodivergent support groups entirely online by secure telehealth, for people located in Tennessee during sessions. There's no in-person option — you join from wherever you're comfortable, which removes the travel and sensory strain that can make group settings hard.
Do I have to talk or turn my camera on?
No. You're welcome to keep your camera off and simply listen — many members start that way. You set your own level of participation, and facilitators never put you on the spot. Sharing is invited, never required.
Is a group the same as therapy, and what does it cost?
A support group isn't a substitute for individual therapy — it's connection and shared strategy. If you'd also benefit from one-on-one care, we can talk through options. We review any group fees up front, with no surprises.
