Ever peeked over your child’s shoulder and wondered what they’re actually doing in Minecraft?

World-building games like Minecraft and Terraria are open-ended. There’s no fixed story and no single goal, just materials, freedom and endless possibilities. For many neurodivergent young people, that’s exactly the appeal: they get to create at their own pace, follow their interests deeply, and build something that’s truly theirs.

Swipe through to learn the signs it’s having a positive impact, and the signs it might be time to check in 👉

At Uncommon, our world-building groups give neurodivergent 8–16 year olds a space to create, collaborate and share their worlds with others on safe, moderated servers. Every member also gets access to our own Minecraft server 💚

✨ Try any 4 gaming sessions for just £40. Link in bio to find out more.

ADHD in girls doesn’t always look the way people expect. 💭

It’s not always the kid bouncing off the walls. Sometimes it’s the girl staring out the window, the one who talks a mile a minute, who’s always misplacing her things, or whose feelings arrive all at once. Because these signs are quieter, they’re easy to miss, and that means many girls go without the support they need.

Lots of girls learn to mask: over-preparing, people-pleasing, holding it all together until they get home. On the outside it looks like “doing fine.” On the inside it can be exhausting.

But that’s only part of the story. The ADHD and AuDHD girls we work with are some of the most creative, curious, funny and energetic young people we know, with an incredible ability to dive deep into the things they love. ✨

At Uncommon, we create spaces where they can understand themselves, build confidence and make real friendships, alongside mentors who’ve been there too. 💚

We’ve got a secret… a lot of our online mentors are outdoor people at heart 🏔️

Lela just made it to the top of a mountain in Norway. Len can’t get enough of the freedom of a summit, especially when mountain goats come along. And for Brian, working out a tricky climbing route is the thing that finally lets his mind go quiet.

For many of the young people we work with, the world outside has started to feel like too much. Some have pulled back so far that even leaving their bedroom feels impossible.

We don’t expect anyone to climb a mountain tomorrow. Our mentors walk alongside young people as they take those first steps back out, at their own pace. Maybe it’s the front door, then the end of the road, then the local park. 🌿

The outdoors doesn’t have to be something to fear, and nobody has to face it alone.

This week saw the start of Animal Crossing club with Otis and the return of Stardew Valley club with Mivi. Both of these are types of cosy gaming, something that we find many of our neurodivergent young people love.

Cosy games are video games built around relaxation, comfort and peaceful play. Think Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley but also farming games and gentle decorating games. No racing, no rush, just playing, building and gathering at your own pace.

For many neurodivergent young people, these games feel especially good. They offer calm, predictable routines, low-stakes challenges, comforting repetition and a real sense of safety and control. 💙

Swipe through to learn why cosy games can be so soothing, the signs they’re helping your child, and when it might be worth checking in.

At Uncommon, we run cosy gaming groups every week where neurodivergent young people can share the games they love and play alongside others who get it, including Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley sessions as well as cosy Roblox sessions!

Is your daughter neurodivergent? We run a club just for her 💜

Neurodivergent girls often have different experiences from their peers, and for a long time most groups and resources were designed with boys in mind. And although girls are a core part of all Uncommon session, Girls Social Club exists to create a space just for them!

It’s a small, relaxed online space where ND girls aged 10–16 can make friends, explore who they are and simply be themselves. Sessions are low-pressure and fun: chatting, answering silly questions, playing games, designing avatars and sharing presentations about their special interests. Your daughter can take part in whatever way feels right for her, whether that’s chatting on camera or joining in through the chat.

Every session is hosted by Charli, our neurodivergent mentor, who has more than ten years’ experience supporting young people and creating spaces where they feel they belong.

🗓 Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5pm
💻 Online, from the comfort of home
✨ For ND girls aged 10–16, with or without a formal diagnosis
👭 Small groups, kept that way on purpose

If you know another parent who’d find this useful, please pass it on 💌

Today is World Mental Health Day 💗

For neurodivergent young people, one of the most powerful things for mental health is something simple: belonging. Feeling understood rather than “different”. We asked what belonging looks like, and it came down to a few things:

✨ “There are people who understand me.”
✨ “I have a place, and people expect me back.”
✨ “People notice and value me.”
✨ “I can be myself here.”

Belonging doesn’t happen in one welcoming session. It grows over time, through being remembered, included and accepted without masking. And belonging is linked to lower loneliness, depression and anxiety, and builds confidence, resilience and self-acceptance.

At Uncommon, we’re not a mental health service, but we see every week how a friendly community can sit alongside other support and help young people feel like they belong.

Today we’re announcing one of our most requested clubs... Animals (& Cats!) Club!

Our team’s furry friends have a habit of popping up in our online sessions, so we thought we’d introduce you to a few of them.

Swipe through to meet the Uncommon pets, including a team member who’s also a cat fosterer and a goat called Tinkerbell who made some new friends on holiday! 🐐

Animals (& Cats!) Club is a space for neurodivergent young people to share their love of animals, show off their pets, swap fun facts and connect with others who are just as passionate as they are. 💙

📅 Wednesdays at 4pm

Have a young animal lover at home? Book a spot using the 🔗 in our bios.

🎮 Not all screen time is the same.

“Gaming” can mean so many things: cosy routines, world-building, strategy, creativity, teamwork, storytelling, social connection and problem-solving.

For many neurodivergent young people, it’s not just entertainment. It can be a place to rest, connect, create, practise skills, feel capable and spend time with people who share their interests. 💙

That doesn’t mean every gaming space is a healthy one. The type of game, the people, the platform, the chat and how your child feels afterwards all matter.

So instead of only asking “How long have they been gaming?”, try asking:

✨ “What kind of gaming is this, and what is it doing for them?” ✨

At Uncommon, our gaming clubs are safe, moderated spaces run by neurodivergent mentors, where young people can play, connect and be themselves. Find out more at bemoreuncommon.com

🚆✈️🏎️ Introducing our brand new club: Roblox Transport!

So many of our young people are huge fans of planes, trains, cars, motorbikes and everything in between, so we built a club just for them. 🙌

It’s a topic close to our hearts too. Our founder Kirsten used to design transport systems around the world, and Sarah is a massive F1 fan! 🏁

In Roblox Transport, young people can explore simulators and games, share their special interests, challenge themselves, and collaborate with others or work independently, whatever suits them best. 💙 Hosted by our brilliant mentor Matt 👋
