Welcome to our Neurodiversity and Learning Support Hub

26 03 28 neurodiversity crowd

Freemasonry is built on the timeless principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. We believe every Brother brings unique strengths to the Province, and that our shared journey is richer when we support one another fully - regardless of how we think, learn, or process the world around us.

This dedicated section has been created especially for Brethren (and their families) who are neurodivergent - including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, or other learning differences - and for anyone who wishes to better understand and support them in Lodge and Chapter.

We recognise that Masonic ritual, meetings, and fellowship can sometimes present particular challenges or require different approaches. At the same time, many neurodivergent Masons find profound meaning, structure, and camaraderie in our traditions. Our goal is simple: to help every Brother feel welcomed, valued, confident, and able to participate in the way that works best for them.

Here you will find:

  • Practical resources and guidance tailored to learning differences in a Masonic context.
  • Recommendations for inclusive mentoring, ritual learning, and Lodge participation.
  • A curated CraftCast episode exploring neurodiversity in Freemasonry, featuring insights from experienced Brethren on creating supportive environments.
  • Access to the Solomon's library of support materials including guides, tips, and further reading to help both neurodivergent Brethren and those who work alongside them.

Whether you are new to Freemasonry, have recently identified as neurodivergent, or simply want to be a better mentor or friend to a Brother, you are among friends here. No question is too small, and no experience is invalid.

If you would like to share your own experiences, suggest additional resources, or speak confidentially with someone who understands, please reach out - we are here to listen and to help.

In the spirit of relief and mutual support, let us continue building a Craft where every Brother can truly thrive.
