Stop Reading, Start Talking!
A live 5-part course series based on The Neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ Sex Playbook
Sign Me UpPut That Book Down!
Yup, even mine. Us neurodivergent folks often hope that if we could just find the right books to read, we would work out who the fuck we are.
Yet we all know it doesn't work like that, because we don't need more information. What we need is more space to explore and express ourselves.
The NSP Guild doesn't contain advice, because you are already the expert on you. Rather, it's a safe, "clothes-on, hands-off" reflective, conversational space.
Through a series of gentle, invitational activities and discussions, you can unpack your desires, honour your sensory world, and re-author your intimate life, one chapter at a time.
Sounds All Too Familiar?
You struggle with:
-
Sensory Overload & Shutdown
Specific textures, lights, sounds, or unpredictable touch turn intimacy into an overwhelming chore. -
The "Unwritten Rules" Exhaustion
Feeling confused, anxious, or burnt out by the hidden social sexual scripts . -
Masking in the Bedroom
Pretending to enjoy things you don't, hiding your true preferences, just to keep a partner comfortable. -
Clashing Desire & Executive Dysfunction
Struggling with initiating sex or maintaining focus. -
Identity & Label Confusion
Feeling unsure of where your sexuality and identity fit, as mainstream labels don't include neurodivergent experiences.
Is This For Me?
The NSP Guild was created specifically to give stuck or struggling neurodivergent adults a safe, structured, and validating space to talk about intimacy on their own terms.
This space is for you if:
-
You want a contained "clothes on, hands off" group discussion space.
-
You are an autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or neurodivergent adult.
-
You represent any relationship style or sexual orientation: Whether you are straight, vanilla, and monogamous, or LGBTQIA+, queer, kinky, or polyamorous.
-
You want a practical, concise, evidence-informed framework to understand your body, brain, and desires without being told to "just relax" or "be spontaneous".
-
You are tired of vague self-help courses with hours of video homework and prefer structured, live, human connection.
How The Guild Works
The NSP Guild is designed for neurodivergent brains and bodies, to prevent burnout and maximize accessibility:
-
1 Book > Five Courses
Choose only the chapters/courses that interest you, or complete the whole book together. -
Capped at 8 People
Small, tight-knit cohorts ensure psychological safety, no crowding, and meaningful pair and group exercises. -
No Pre-Recorded Videos
No massive video courses sitting unwatched. All content comes in digestible weekly PDFs. -
Structured 60-Minute Group Calls
Wednesdays are reserved for structured practising, and group processing, with no forced participation. -
Built-in Rest Weeks
Every Week 4 is a week off from activities and calls, to give your nervous system time to integrate.
How Will My Intimate Life Change?
You are welcome to go through The Neurodivergent LGBT+ Sex Playbook alone and you will still learn a lot about yourself. That said, there are even more benefits from doing it in a live, safe group setting.

One engaging activity per week, so no heavy homework or video assignments. -
Week Four Off

There is no expectation to buy or to read the book.
Small Cohorts for Safer Practicing
Invitation & Resting
The NSP Guild is specifically designed around choice, consent, and integration.
You will be invited to reflect, participate, and experiment at a pace that respects your nervous system and your boundaries.
This is steady, supported work rather than pressure to perform.
Contained Community
Each cohort is capped at 8 participants. In this instance, size does matter!
Joking aside, it gives each person more room for meaningful discussion, quieter processing, thoughtful questions, and safer pair or breakout work.
We have time to get to know each other.
Nothing to Get Wrong
The weekly activities are invitations to self-discovery and exploration. As you are the expert on you, only you can tell what your unique responses will be.
You can't get it wrong (or right!) as you will naturally have different answers to some, or all, of the other participants.
Meet Your Coach
I'm Tiga-Rose Nercessian (she/her). I’m an accredited Sex and Relationship Psychotherapist. I’m also a specialist trainer and academic researcher. I have been working in this field since 2015.
Personally, I am a queer, multi-neurodivergent, multi-ethnic synaesthete. These aspects of who I am form and inform me and my practice.
My work is trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming, ensuring you feel heard, held, and safe as we explore together.
The NSP Guild was born out of desire to make my activity book contents more accessible for more people to practice.
