What is a Constellation?

Constellations are non-judgemental Peer Solidarity groups facilitated by the NEUROMANCERS team. They might be support-based drop in groups, educational cohorts, or workshops and some facilitators also offer additional 121 support on a discretionary basis. Like the stars in constellations, we aim to connect neurodivergents across space and time. Learn more here.

About The Disorderlies

This Constellation is ONLY for folks who identify with the Cluster B umbrella, whether formally diagnosed, self diagnosed or exploring the possibility. Each Zoom meeting will be loosely based on a particular topic and have captions available. People can interact with the group however they feel comfortable to (e.g. in the chat, with their voices, cameras on or off etc.). There is also a Discord channel available for those that would like to chat about something on their mind relating to Cluster B or share resources in between the monthly sessions.

Dates for 2023 (tickets can be booked on a monthly basis):

9th of June - Topic: Our Favourite Person(s)
14th of July - Topic: Processing Abandonment
18th of August - Topic: Rage & More
8th of September - Topic: Forced to Recover
27th of October - Topic: Interpersonal Sanism
24th of November - Topic: Things Helping Us Get Through Shit

This group is for those who are 16 or over.

The goal of this Constellation is to provide a safe and friendly space:

for folks who identify with the Cluster B umbrella to share their experiences and feel supported;
to share with one another strategies, recommendations and methods that have helped;
to increase awareness and education around the diagnosis umbrella.

We encourage participation in this space in ways that are accessible. We are offering a non-judgemental space to learn, explore and grow. We would like to emphasise the importance of coming to this space as you are, we hope that this space is mutually beneficial and accepting. With this in mind, we want this to be an inclusive atmosphere where there are no ‘stupid’ questions, answers or comments. As long as your comments are not harmful to any marginalised communities and backgrounds, with appropriate trigger warnings in place.

We would like this constellation to be a collaborative space and welcome topic suggestions from others, we are looking forward to seeing what the needs of the Cluster B community are and how we can learn from these experiences together!
