At Alchemy, we believe that sexual health and wellness are deeply personal experiences — shaped by the unique ways each of us thinks, feels, and connects. That’s why we’re committed to a neuro-affirming approach, one that celebrates and supports the full spectrum of neurological diversity. Mainstream sex education often overlooks neurodivergent people by being overly complex, judgmental, or binary. We believe sexual wellness, intimacy, and pleasure are essential parts of being human — and should be accessible to everyone, no matter how their brain works or how they experience the world.
What even is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is a rather complex term with multiple meanings:
- Factual Definition: It refers to the natural variation in human brains and minds — just like biodiversity in nature. Every person, including neurotypical individuals, is part of this diversity.
- Philosophical Approach: The neurodiversity paradigm or framework is a perspective that recognizes neurological differences (such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.) as normal variations of the human experience, not as deficits or disorders that need to be fixed.
- Activist Movement: The neurodiversity movement advocates for the rights, inclusion, and well-being of neurodivergent people. It aligns with the social model of disability, which focuses on removing societal barriers rather than trying to “normalize” neurodivergent people.

What about Neuroinclusivity? Neuroinclusivity for us means intentionally creating spaces, products, and conversations that welcome and support people with a wide range of neurological experiences. It’s about honouring diverse ways of thinking, feeling, communicating, and experiencing sensation — ensuring no one is excluded in the pursuit of connection, consent, and pleasure. Neurodiversity in general is the recognition that no two minds work exactly alike — just as no two bodies do. This perspective is the backbone of how we operate, educate, and curate our products here at Alchemy. How Does Alchemy Support Neuroinclusivity in Sexual Wellness? Many neurodivergent individuals have unique sensory needs and can be sensitive to scents, textures, sounds, or kinds of touch. That’s why we carry unfragranced, simple, and straightforward personal lubricants and massage oils that prioritize sensory comfort without compromising quality or safety. Our own Alchemy After Hours collection was thoughtfully designed with sensory play in mind — offering tools that invite gentle exploration, encouraging curiosity and connection without overwhelming the senses. These sensory-friendly products help create safe and affirming experiences for a wide range of neurological differences.
Beyond Just Products: Affirming All Ways of Relating.
We recognize that intimacy, communication, and connection look different for everyone. Some people process information visually, others prefer direct communication; gender, desire, and attraction are all wonderfully diverse and valid. To support this, we curate communication tools and conversation decks designed to foster healthy dialogue in relationships — with clear, accessible language that embraces various relationship styles and sexual identities. Our books, workbooks, and resources help make self-exploration feel safe and empowering for all, especially those who have felt excluded from traditional sexual health education. Relational skills like connection and consent are not one-size-fits-all. Through workshops, 1:1 consultations, and product education, we nurture a culture of ongoing, informed, and accessible consent — where everyone has the space and skills to express themselves freely and change their minds without shame.
