The Awkward Social is a supervised online playground for autistic and neurodivergent young people.
Moderated by trusted adults. Built for safe gameplay, real friendships, and genuine connection.
Because no school lets children into the playground unsupervised. The internet should be no different.
As a parent of a neurodivergent young person, you probably feel cut off from that world. You don't know the games, the lingo, the platforms. And that distance from their world makes you feel distant from them.
Meanwhile your child is online, possibly alone, possibly making contact with strangers, possibly wandering into corners of the internet that aren't safe. You worry. And you're right to.
Your child is gaming every evening. But who are they actually talking to?
Here's what we do about it.
The Awkward Social exists to change that. For your child — a safe, supervised, genuinely fun space to game, connect, and build real friendships. For you — a window into their world. Community with other parents who get it. And the knowledge that a trusted, DBS checked adult is always in the room.
But it doesn't stop online. The Awkward Social also creates real world experiences. Low key meetups. Big events. Places where your child can build genuine social capital and start to find their place in the world.
And as they grow, there's a pathway. From participant to host. From connection to economic opportunity.
Because the neurodivergent journey is hard enough. It should also be fun. And it should lead somewhere.
