Matt's Mission
Building Connection. Creating Belonging.
Empowering Neurodiversity.
Matt Raekelboom is on a mission to build a community that truly understands the power of belonging. Through Patreon, he’s creating a space where neurodiverse individuals and their families can connect, support one another, and experience meaningful events without financial barriers. Every subscription will help fund monthly in-person gatherings across North America — bringing real connection to people who need it most.
Why This Mission Matters
For many neurodivergent individuals, community can feel hard to find — and even harder to access. Traditional events are often expensive, overwhelming, or simply not designed with neurodiversity in mind. Matt has seen firsthand the difference that safe, supportive spaces can make. His goal is to create events that are welcoming, affordable, and built around comfort, inclusion, and joy.
This mission isn’t about numbers — it’s about people. But the more the community grows, the more impact becomes possible.

How PATREON Supports the Vision
The Importance of Community
Community is at the heart of everything Matt does. Neurodiverse people thrive when they’re surrounded by understanding, validation, and shared experience. This Patreon isn’t just a membership — it’s a collective effort to build a network of individuals who lift each other up.
Inside the community, members get resources, stories, support, and connection… but they also learn that they’re never alone in their journey.
Monthly Events Across
North America
One of the core pillars of this mission is bringing people together in person. As Patreon support grows, Matt will host monthly neurodiversity-centered events throughout North America. These may include meetups, workshops, sensory-friendly gatherings, group activities, and travel-based experiences — all designed to be accessible, affordable, and enjoyable for every attendee.
The long-term vision is to build a community that isn’t limited to one city, but reaches thousands across the continent.
