We all have different brains. Different brains have different needs. There’s no one “right” way to participate in community.
We offer low-demand ways to connect with other people — in your own way. All of our programs have multiple ways to participate.
We welcome you to engage in whatever way is right for you.
- Video on or off
- Communicate with mouth words, chat, AAC device
- No pressure to interact — observation is valid!
“To have a place where I don’t have to mask, don’t have to pretend, and don’t have to spend over half my mental energy trying to figure out what they expect from me…. I don’t have that anywhere else. – Linda, All Brains Belong community member

Being held in the safety of the ABB community, I am beginning to unfurl and love my brain, and the gifts it offers me and my community.
