NEONN (the NEOhio Neurodiversity Network) is a neurodivergent-led nonprofit founded in 2024. We act as a centralized hub for neurodiversity resources and community connection in Northeast Ohio and beyond. Rather than providing direct clinical services, we focus on improving the environments and systems that shape neurodivergent lives. (Read our full story here!)(/about) On a practical level, we maintain a resource library,(/library) a directory of providers,(/directory) and a shared calendar (/calendar)of community events. We also run a social group for neurodivergent adults (NEONSG)(/socialgroup) and partner with local organizations (/partnerships)to help make our communities more inclusive. Everything we do is led by and built for neurodivergent people across the lifespan.

Everyone! Even though NEONN is led by neurodivergent people and meant to support ND perspectives, we created NEONN to explicitly be for the entire community. Our resources and programs are accessible to individuals of all support needs and identities, as well as their families, caregivers, professional organizations, and the general public. We believe true inclusion is only possible when everyone is welcome!

Absolutely not! We welcome and respect every person regardless of how they identify themselves or what conditions they may have. We understand just how challenging it can be to pursue a formal diagnosis, and know that many in our community choose to forego the process altogether, so we consider self-diagnosis to be completely valid. Moreover, since NEONN recognizes the inherent inclusivity of neurodivergence, we welcome anyone who feels they relate to the concept, regardless of whether or not they identify with a formal diagnostic label.
