About – Asterion | Celebrating Neurodiversity in Classics

Asterion is an organisation set up by neurodivergent people in Classics. Our goals are

Asterion is inclusive, welcoming anyone with a personal or professional interest in neurodiversity.
Asterion welcomes and supports self-diagnosis.
Asterion recognises the importance of intersectionality, valuing differences in gender, sexuality, race and class.
