Adult Programs
at So-Social
Support when you want help figuring something out.
Connection when you want somewhere to belong.
Adult life can involve a lot to navigate — work, relationships, independence, communication, executive functioning, and finding people you genuinely connect with.
Our adult programming offers practical, individualized, neurodiversity-affirming support — without trying to make anyone act more “typical.”
Fall 2026: So Social Space will run Monday and Tuesday evenings, beginning September 21, with thoughtfully matched groups for neurodivergent adults 18+.
Choose Your Option
-
Practical support for the things that are getting in your way.
Sometimes there is a specific situation you want help figuring out.
Individual sessions provide one-to-one support focused on the areas that matter most to you. There isn't a set curriculum. We start with what is happening in your life right now and work together to develop strategies that are realistic and useful.
Sessions might focus on:
Navigating challenges at work or school
Executive functioning, organization and getting things done
Motivation and follow-through
Managing overwhelm
Communicating needs, feelings and boundaries
Friendship challenges
Dating and relationships
Handling conflict or misunderstandings
Building independence
Preparing for difficult conversations
Understanding social situations that feel confusing
Making decisions about when and how you want to connect with others
The goal isn't to change who you are. It's to help you understand what works for you and develop tools for situations that are making life harder than it needs to be.
What do individual sessions look like?
Sessions are collaborative and conversational.
You can bring in a specific problem, an upcoming situation, or something you've been struggling with for a while.
Together, we'll break it down, look at what may be making it difficult, and develop concrete strategies you can try.
For some people, a few sessions focused on one particular issue may be enough. Others may prefer ongoing support.
-
A place to meet people without all the pressure.
So Social Space is a semi-structured, thoughtfully matched social space for neurodivergent adults who would like more opportunities to connect with other people.
It is not a traditional social skills group.
There are no lessons on how you're “supposed” to socialize. You don't have to perform, make friends with everyone, or participate in every conversation.
Instead, we're creating a comfortable, supported place where adults can spend time together, talk, take part in activities, and get to know people over time.
What happens at So Social Space?
Each gathering will have enough structure to make connecting feel easier, while still leaving lots of room for people to choose how they participate.
Depending on the group, that might include:
Games or collaborative activities
Conversation prompts
Shared interests and discussions
Snacks and casual hangouts
Small-group activities
Opportunities to suggest future activities or outings
You can participate a lot, participate a little, or simply take some time to get comfortable.
Our team is there to create a welcoming environment and offer support when it's useful — whether that's helping you join a conversation, connecting people with shared interests, or making an activity feel easier to enter.
And if you don't need our help? That's great too.
Who else will be there?
We know that who is in the room matters.
So Social Space isn't a drop-in program where everyone is simply placed together. We take time to get to know each person before they join and put real thought into creating groups where people are likely to feel comfortable and find connection.
We consider things like age and stage of life, communication style, interests, independence, social preferences, and what each person is hoping to get out of the group.
No two people will be exactly alike — and we don't expect them to be.
Our goal is simply to bring together adults who have enough in common to connect, feel comfortable with one another, and hopefully enjoy spending time together.
We think of it less as assigning people to a “level” and more as finding a good social fit.
Who is So Social Space for?
So Social Space may be a good fit if you:
Want to meet other neurodivergent adults
Would like more connection or community in your life
Find it difficult to meet people outside of work or school
Want more structure and support than a typical meetup
Feel more comfortable knowing support is available if you want it
Would like somewhere to hang out with less pressure to “fit in”
Want to connect with people at your own pace
You do not need to be highly social, confident in groups, or have a formal diagnosis to participate.
So Social Space is for neurodivergent adults 18+ who are looking for more opportunities to connect — in a way that feels comfortable, genuine, and right for them.
Which Program is Right for Me?
-
There is something specific you would like help understanding, planning for or changing.
For example:
“I keep getting overwhelmed at work and don't know how to talk to my manager.”
“I want friends, but I don't know how to turn acquaintances into actual friendships.”
“I have a hard time getting started on things even when they're important.”
“I need help setting boundaries in a relationship.”
“Something keeps going wrong socially and I can't figure out why.”
-
You're primarily looking for somewhere to be with other people.
You don't need a specific therapeutic goal.
You might simply want to meet people, have somewhere to go, enjoy an activity, or feel more connected to a community.
Some adults may choose one program, while others may participate in both.
The two programs serve different purposes.
Not sure which option is the best fit?
Start by getting in touch with us.
We'll learn a little about what you're looking for and help determine whether Individual Sessions, So Social Space, or a combination of the two makes the most sense.
Our Approach
Neurodiversity-Affirming
Different brains work differently.
We don't believe successful social communication means making everyone communicate, behave or interact in the same way.
Our goal is to help adults better understand themselves and other people, communicate what they need, navigate situations that matter to them, and make choices about how they want to participate in relationships and community.
Individualized
There is no one version of adulthood — and no single set of goals that everyone needs to work toward.
One person may want help finding friends. Another may already have great friendships but struggle with work. Someone else may want support with executive functioning, relationships, independence or communication.
Your goals should be your goals.
Connection Without Pressure
We know that wanting connection and finding social situations easy are not the same thing.
Our adult social programming is designed to give people opportunities to connect without making friendship or participation another thing they have to “perform.”
Sometimes meaningful connection happens quickly. Sometimes it happens slowly.
Both are okay.
