after care

Not all aftercare looks like cuddles and snackies—and for neurodivergent folks, traditional ideas of care can feel confusing, overwhelming, or just not quite right. This class explores how neurodivergence can shape our aftercare needs, expressions of affection, and recovery from intense scenes. This class will reframe aftercare as a customizable language of support, one that honors sensory profiles, communication styles, executive function challenges, and the beautifully diverse ways neurodivergent people love and connect. Whether your ideal aftercare is space and silence, a hyper-specific snack, a meme sent three hours later, or a highly curated “I saw this and thought of you” object—this class says: Yes. That counts. Do the thing. Bio: Reed has been a local and traveling queer & poly kink educator since 2021.
