We’re the two people behind Happyiz Overthinking Coffee Shop: Tuncay Sancak, known as HappyTuncay, and Dyt. Seda Doyan. Both of us are the kind who can’t think about something just once and let it go; both of us have AuDHD (autism and ADHD). One of us writes books, the other writes the menu.
Who we are, in short, is on the two cards below; there’s more on our own websites.
We opened this café a little for ourselves, too: we wanted a table where a mind can work the way it works. Now there are several here. This is a café, not therapy.
No phone number, no email, no contact form. You can message us in the café’s WhatsApp group or on Instagram. The links below lead to other sites.
Author, founder of HappyİZ, diagnosed late with AuDHD. He writes books about neurodivergence for adults, young people, children and parents. He’s also the one who thinks about the sentences on this page longer than necessary.
She’s a dietitian with her own consulting office in Kadıköy, and she also works online. At the café, the menu is her job: she wants it to say what’s in it and to mark the allergens. The menu makes no health claims.
Community
We’d like Happyiz Overthinking Coffee Shop to be the meeting place of the happyiz.com community too: calm, in-person meetups for people with ADHD, autistic people, people with AuDHD and the people close to them. Once the first meetup has a date, it will be on the notice board.
Small groups, set times, announced ahead. Nobody has to talk.
Writing, drawing and focus workshops; low-stimulus, no pressure. We haven’t decided which will come first.
Tables for people who want to work on their own thing. Laptops are fine, headphones too.
Dates for meetups and workshops: Instagram first, then the notice board.
