Miingle
Many autistic individuals find unstructured social gatherings overwhelming, leading to disengagement or avoidance. Miingle is a structured, sensory-friendly pop-up space that offers a safe environment for people to interact at their own pace and comfort level.
While the space is centered around the needs of autistic individuals, it also invites neurotypical guests to learn, engage, and build empathy. Miingle isn’t here to “fix” anyone—it exists to support, empower, and foster meaningful connection.
