About Us

A community by and for neurodivergent people in Pakistan.

Who we are

Neurodiversity Pakistan is a safe, welcoming space for neurodivergent people, their families and the people who support them.

That includes autistic people, ADHDers, dyslexic people and anyone whose brain works a little differently.

Many of us spent years being told what we couldn’t do. Some of us were diagnosed late. Some of us were never diagnosed at all.

Here, nobody has to explain themselves from scratch.

What we do right now

  • Weekly Sunday meetings on Zoom, where members connect, share and support each other
  • A WhatsApp community for everyday questions, wins and bad days
  • Talks, workshops and training for schools, workplaces and families
  • Building links with parents, educators, professionals and allies across Pakistan

What we believe

Different, not broken

Neurodivergent brains are a natural part of human variety. Support should help people thrive, not make them fit in.

Lived experience leads

Our work is shaped by neurodivergent people themselves. We speak with our community, not over it.

Everyone is welcome

You don't need a diagnosis to belong here. Self-identified, questioning, parent, ally, you're welcome.

Small changes, real difference

Most support is simple. A quiet room, clear instructions, a little patience. We help people see that.

Part of a global movement

Neurodiversity Pakistan works closely with the Institute of Neurodiversity (ION), a global organization that brings neurodivergent communities together across many countries.

Our founder, Faiza Rahman, is ION’s Country Lead for Pakistan.

We’re working towards becoming ION’s official Pakistan chapter. That connects our local work to an international network, shared training and global standards for safeguarding and inclusion.

Collaborations and partners

We’re building partnerships with schools, workplaces, professionals and organizations who want a more inclusive Pakistan.

If you’d like to work with us, we’d love to hear from you.
