# Tessolari

> Find the missing piece to your life. Tessolari is a peer-support platform connecting neurodivergent adults with their allies, plus a directory of local autism / neurodiversity organisations. Members exchange small practical favours, find local services, and talk in a moderated Discourse forum. Free to join; paid tiers unlock additional features. A service of Be Braver Ltd (UK company 06612298). In open beta.

Tessolari is Latin-rooted (from *tesserae* — mosaic tiles): little pieces of help that, joined together, make daily life work. The platform was built by Axel Segebrecht after watching gatekept communities and confusing forms defeat people he cares about.

## Important notes

Tessolari is in **open beta** — features change frequently, and "Roadmap & Feedback" in the community forum is where direction is set. Membership tiers, partner-organisation listings, marketplace bookings, and other features may evolve. Always check the live page for current behaviour rather than relying on stale summaries. Personal profiles are gated behind an ally score; the partner-organisation directory at `/organisations` is fully public.
