NEUROMANCERS is an abolitionist community organisation for and by neurodivergents.

NEUROMANCE = FALL IN LOVE WITH (NEURO)DIVERGENCY |

NEUROMANCE = FALL IN LOVE WITH (NEURO)DIVERGENCY |

To NEUROMANCE means to “fall in love with (neuro)divergency”.

As mad, mentally ill, neurodivergent, and disabled people (MMIND) who have been harmed by psychiatry and the medical industrial complex, to re-claim our own self-determination and fall in love with such divergent madness is liberating.

Our Goal:

Community Healing + Political Education

We are an organised and politicised community, promoting healing and resistance outside of, and in active opposition, to psychiatry’s pathologisation of neurodivergent people. 

Our Programs & Offerings

  • Creative Expression

    Human bodies and minds, like all animals, are beautifully creative. NEUROMANCERS runs a multi-media digital magazine and develops zines throughout the year as a platform for divergent artistry.

  • Peer Solidarity

    Peer Solidarity is an explicitly politicised elevation of peer support: community healing + political education. We run Constellations (Peer Solidarity groups), 1:1 support, workshops, and other events for our community.

  • Mutual Aid

    As a Black-led organisation, we recognise the need for mutual aid and wealth redistribution through personal reparations. NEUROMANCERS offers monthly mini-grants to BPOC, builds community through non-financial aid, and hosts a directory of holistic care-workers.

  • Leadership Building

    In our community, everyone is a leader. We take responsibility for ourselves and each other. We have been abandoned by “healthcare” systems: we will not abandon ourselves. Contribute via donation, collaboration, or by joining our team.

Aiyana Goodfellow, founding director of NEUROMANCERS

“Much of the mainstream education around neurodivergency focused on conforming to capitalism, rather than abolishing it. I created NEUROMANCERS at the age of 15, determined to carve a space for Black (and other non-white) to feel centred in this conversation, where we can collectively recognise the innately political nature of care work. Two years on, I am very proud of NEUROMANCERS’ evolving achievements and ever-excited to see where we grow in the future.”
