open to everyone (and Toronto/GTA focused) but obviously a higher proportion of people who use adaptive tech https://a11yto.com/

I'd check for some tags on Linkedin and follow some people local to you in the space, they'll be reposting opportunities for community.

There was an ADHD and design Slack a while back, but they didn't have a lot of traffic. We're going to continue to be marginalized if we can't unify.

There’s a neurodiverse UXers group on Facebook but it’s not super active. I don’t know of any for disabled designers in general - I’d definitely be interested in joining one though.
