Neuropeer

Neuropeer, neuropeering. An Autistic offering peer support to another Autistic. The act of offering support, guidance, resources, and most importantly our lived experience as an Autistic person to support another Autistic. While many mental health professionals and providers are allistic and mental health systems mirror allistic culture, these professionals and systems are often hurtful and inaccessible to Autistics. Neuropeers and the act of neuropeering seeks to change the dynamic from reliance on allistic systems that hurt us, to depending on each other and our community in a radically accepting and inclusive way.
