Neuroqueer Peer Support Circle: Reclaiming Space, Selfhood & Belonging

As part of Neurodiversity Pride Week 2026, NDB is relaunching our Neuroqueer Peer Support Circle, an online peer-led space for neurodivergent people who are also queer, trans, non-binary, gender-expansive, questioning, or exploring the intersections between neurodivergence, identity, gender, sexuality, embodiment, and belonging.
The term neuroqueer, associated with the work of Nick Walker and others, invites us to question the norms that shape how we are expected to think, communicate, relate, move, express gender, and exist in the world. It is not only an identity label, but also a practice: a way of exploring and challenging the “shoulds” around both neurocognitive and gendered ways of being.
This circle is a space to return to that original spirit: curiosity, fluidity, mutual support, creativity, and self-definition.
Together, we will explore questions such as:
• What does it mean to be neuroqueer?
• How do neurodivergence, queerness, gender, masking, safety, and self-expression interact?
• What parts of ourselves have we had to hide, translate, soften, or explain?
• What helps us feel safe enough to be more fully ourselves?
• How can peer support create spaces of shared power, belonging, and care?
This is not a therapy group and there is no expectation to share. You are welcome to participate actively, listen quietly, reflect privately, keep your camera off, use chat, or simply arrive as you are.
Our aim is to co-create a space that is affirming, anti-pathologising, trauma-aware, and rooted in peer connection. We are not here to fix anyone. We are here to explore, witness, relate, and build spaces where messy, brave, playful, questioning, contradictory, and whole selves can belong.
