Welcome! Book here to join NEUROMANCERS’ Alt-Brained Constellation!
About Alt-Brained 🧠
This Constellation offers a space for multiply-marginalised neurodivergent people (14+) to examine our struggles on personal and systemic levels as we discuss ways to apply our lived experiences towards building meaningful community.
Meetings will begin with an anecdote from the facilitators to set the tone of the space and then attendees will have the optional opportunity to share their own experiences. We’ll make connections to the greater systemic -isms and -obias that contribute to our challenges and support each other in coming up with ways to resist erasure, invalidation, and oppression through individual empowerment and collective organising.
We will meet on Wednesdays at 6-8pm UTC for six (6) weeks. (Convert to your timezone here.)

Alt-Brained is led by facilitators with ‘lived-experience’ of autism and ADHD. Within all online sessions, captions, use of the chat, and optional mic/camera will be available. Furthermore, you can join our Discord server to connect between and beyond sessions. Please contact us with questions.

What are Constellations?✨️
NEUROMANCERS is a community organisation and radical magazine, for and by neurodivergent people. Learn more about us here.
Constellations are our anti-carceral, sliding-scale Peer Solidarity groups. Peer Solidarity (coined by Aiyana Goodfellow) is an elevated form of peer support which combines political education with community healing. Learn more about Constellations.
How much do the Constellations cost? 💸
In line with our accessibility statements, we offer sliding-scale tickets for all Constellation sessions, with free spaces for Black people. We ask and expect middle class, financially privileged, and white people to engage in personal reparations: choose our higher tier options to redistribute your wealth. All funds go towards our Solar Survival Support (mutual aid) projects.
Each ticket gives you access to all six (6) sessions within this Constellation. These are not drop-in spaces: you must commit to most or all of the sessions.
Sliding-Scale:
- Free for Black People
- Tier One: £15 (£2.50 per session)
- Tier Two: £30 (£5 per session)
- Tier Three: £60 (£10 per session)
- Tier Four: £60+ (pay what you can)
Payment Plans & Discounts:
The payment plan feature is available until a week before the Constellation sessions begin. If booking at Tier Two and above, you can secure your place with a 25% deposit, and pay the rest up-to three (3) days before the first session of your Constellation.
Spaces will fill quickly and each tier is limited, so book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
