Centering authenticity, healing & belonging

For neurodivergent* + queer, trans, & non-binary people of all ages.

The properties of light is rooted in a commitment to (un)learning and intersectional justice, and the pursuit of mutual aid communities aimed at caring not for others, but with others. 

I believe in the power, ability, and creativity of our community to engage in care with one another;

I believe in rejecting pathology, compliance, and assimilation, and I value radical acceptance, autonomy, and authenticity;

I believe in abolitionist, anti-oppressive, and anti-carceral approaches to mental health and community wellness, and I value repair + redistribution of individualized wealth and resources;

I believe in rejecting individualism and the capitalist myths of scarcity and independence, and I value both autonomy and interdependence;

I believe that change is both possible and necessary.

“I originally conceived of neuroqueer as a verb: neuroqueering as the practice of queering (subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from) neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.” That is to say, ‘neuroqueer’ is not only an identity that one can be, intersectionally, as both neurodivergent and queer, but is also a way of acting and responding to the world.”

— Dr. Nick Walker (she/her), Neuroqueer Heresies

A note on language: we respect the right of all individuals to use language that is meaningful for their identities.  We use identity-first language to describe ourselves, and default to using identity-first language unless/until a person lets us know they use different language to describe themselves.  This means we use words like "autistic" and "disabled" and "neurodivergent*" to describe the many ways that humans exist.


*Neurodivergent is a term coined by Kassiane Asasumasu of Radical Neurodivergence Speaking.
