SpinCON 2024
Sunday, September 29th
1pm - 4pm
The world’s first celebration of Neurodivergent Special Interests and Passions
RIGHT HERE IN METRO-DETROIT
We know you’re not sure what to expect, but you have to SEE it to GET it!
If you are neurodivergent (Autistic. ADHD. Etc.), you probably have some “special interests…” things you LOVE and know a LOT about.
Come to SpinCON and meet other ND folks and show off or share special interests!
Sign up for a TABLE if you’d like to show your collection.
Sign up to be a VENDOR if you’d like to sell your art or other products.
Sign up to be a PARTICIPANT if you’d just like to walk around look
THIS IS AN ALL AGES EVENT
SpinCon Fall 2024
In our opinion, neurodivergent “special interests” and “passions” are pretty awesome. We don’t get the chance to really show them off, though. Read below for more information!
WHAT IS SPINCON?
SpinCon is an event where neurodivergent people can come and…
show off our special interests to other people who “get it”
celebrate our knowledge and expert status about a special interest
make some connections with other people
feel really, really good about ourselves
WHAT DOES NEURODIVERGENT MEAN? IS THAT ME?
Neurodivergent is a big word that means my brain works differently than other people’s
I might need to be really passionate about something in order to learn about it
I might be more sensitive than others to things like noise, lights, crowded places, textures, smells, etc.
I might want to have friendships and romance, but have a really hard time making and keeping those relationships
I might need help with things like communication, organization, big feelings, understanding other people, etc.
“Neurodivergent” is an umbrella word for things like…
Autism
ADHD
Developmental Disabilities
Sensory Processing Disorder
and so much more
WHAT IS A SPECIAL INTEREST?
A special interest is something that I’m REALLY passionate about or know a LOT about
Some examples are:
Cars, trains, airplanes, transportation
Certain video games, types of TV shows, movies, music
Certain collectibles, toys, plushies
Animals, plants, the environment
and so many more! What are your interests and passions?
WHAT WILL SPINCON LOOK LIKE?
Neurodivergent folks will have tables set up with examples of their special interests
People will walk around looking at the tables and can talk about the interests if they want to
Have you ever been to a comic con? or a craft fair? or a street fair? It looks like that!
WAYS I CAN ENJOY SPINCON: It’s your choice!
I can sign up for a table to SHOW my special interests to others
I can come to the event and just look around
If I have a small business, like making t-shirts or crafts or artwork, I can sign up for a table to SELL my things!
If you would like to SIGN UP TO HAVE A TABLE, or VOLUNTEER please register for the event HERE
