About MindJam
MINDJAM is a pioneering community platform tailored for Australian autistic/neurodivergent adults, as well as their families, caregivers, and supporters. Conceived as a virtual café, MINDJAM provides a welcoming, inclusive and neuro-affirming digital space for sharing stories, exchanging knowledge through lived experiences, and offering peer support. It aims to foster a sense of belonging and community among autistic/neurodivergent people and those who support them.
Our mission is to empower, connect, and enrich the lives of autistic/neurodivergent adults in Australia by creating a safe, understanding, and supportive online community where everyone can freely express themselves and grow together.
Mindjam is brought together by two Australian companies, Edentify and TPXCo. Leading TPXCo is Raphaël Murphy, who believes we’re all on this planet for a good purpose. Her lived experience of neurodivergence makes her ridiculously passionate about supporting our MindJam community! While Edentify consists of a team of experienced and curious researchers.
Five Core Values for MINDJAM Community Members
Neuroaffirmation
We celebrate our neurodiversity and encourage Mindjammers to embrace and affirm their unique strengths, identities, and experiences. This community believes in the importance of a neuro-affirming approach, where being neurodivergent is seen as a valuable difference.
Empathy and Understanding
Every Mindjammer brings their lived experience, and MINDJAM fosters a culture of empathy where members listen to and support each other. We aim to create a safe space where everyone feels understood and valued, even when perspectives differ.
Inclusivity and Respect
We are a diverse group, and we value that diversity. All Mindjammers-regardless of their background, gender, race, or ability-are welcome here. Respect for different viewpoints, experiences, and ways of being is central to the MINDJAM community's ethos.
Peer Support and Empowerment
At MINDJAM, we believe in lifting each other up. By sharing knowledge, we empower each other to navigate the world in ways that work best for us. Mindjammers are encouraged to share their stories, hints, and tips, offering peer support to one another.
Constructive Engagement
MINDJAM is a space for positive and meaningful interactions. We encourage constructive, solution-focused conversations, where members feel comfortable asking questions, seeking advice, and offering their insights, all in a respectful and supportive manner.
Meet the Brains Trust
Meet our MindJam Brain Trust - they are the heart of our affirming neurodivergent community. Each member brings lived experiences that inspire them to be awesome at creating content, moderating conversations, and offering opinions. They’re here to welcome everyone, have their say, and help keep our space safe and inclusive.
