Constellations
by Harrington Matchmaking
Conventional dating wasn't built to see you.
For many adults — especially neurodivergent and disabled adults — traditional ways of finding romantic partners or making new friends can be difficult to navigate or incompatible with their support needs. Yet a five-figure matchmaking and coaching package may not be feasible for every adult or family.
Constellations offers another option: a more accessible way to be personally considered for introductions on a regular schedule — without hiring us for a high-touch matchmaking engagement.
Kate Inez Harrington
Owner, Harrington Matchmaking
“We’re incredibly proud to have built — one screening at a time — one of the most extensive and inclusive databases of adults who have struggled to find their footing in conventional dating.
What unites this community is not a neurodivergent diagnosis or any perceived limitations. It is the desire to be met where they truly are and find someone who values the life they actually live, not one they’re expected to.
We can only responsibly support a limited number of full-service matchmaking clients, and a comprehensive matchmaking and coaching package is not feasible for every adult or family. We created Constellations so we could personally get to know more people and consider them for thoughtful introductions.
We hope it gives more adults the chance for the stars to align.”
Constellations Intake Conversation
Your membership begins with a conversation with our Constellations team. We want to understand who you are, what matters to you, what daily life is like and any support needs you may have, and what you hope to find through Constellations.
With your permission, we record the conversation so our team can return to your own words rather than relying on a questionnaire or a few notes. If Zoom is not accessible or comfortable, we’ll work with you on another option. A parent or support person is also welcome to join when helpful.
Stars Aligning
Your membership gives you ongoing access to our private member portal, including resources, practical tools, virtual meetups, member discussions, and other ways to participate and meet fellow members.
When someone catches your interest, you can send a connection request. If they accept, you can begin a conversation directly.
Our goal is to create as many structured, supportive opportunities as possible for members to connect with people they may genuinely enjoy getting to know.
Nothing Happens Without Your “Yes”
When we identify a potential introduction — or another member sends you a connection request through the portal — you decide whether you would like to move forward.
Two principles guide this process: Pressure is poison. Slow is safe. No one should feel pushed to respond, meet, share more than they are comfortable with, or move faster than feels right. We want connection to have room to develop at a pace that works for both people.
Who is Constellations for?
-
Independent, but still Feeling Stuck
An adult who may work, live independently, have interests and participate in their community — but still feels socially isolated or unsure how to move from acquaintance to meaningful connection. They may have already worked on social skills and are now looking for more places to actually use them.
-
Connecting, with Practical Support
An adult who may rely on a parent, family member, aide, or other support person for transportation, scheduling, communication, or other logistics. They want to participate in their own way, meet like-minded adults, and remain at the center of their own choices.
-
Looking for More Opportunities
An adult who has a full life but finds it surprisingly difficult to meet new people. They may feel like their social circle has become smaller over time, or that the usual ways of connecting simply have not worked well for them. They want more thoughtful, supported opportunities to meet others.
“Don’t give up. You will find someone. You have to put in the effort. I went to Harrington Matchmaking events. I put myself out there. I was matched with my girlfriend who was one of Kate's matchmaking clients. We’re really happy and planning to move in together next Spring.”
Andalib met his girlfriend, Jessica, at a Constellations event for neurodivergent singles in Maryland.
“I’d recently tried finding matches through speed dating, but kept getting burned by ones where we weren’t compatible at all. Harrington Matchmaking helped me move past those and introduced me to people who shared not just my interests, but my values, too.”
Amy, based in Virginia, has received multiple connections through Constellations. She recently went on a third date with one of our members.
How We Approach Dating
Clarity is Kindness
We encourage clear and honest communication.
This means saying what you feel, what you want, and when something does not feel right.
Avoiding these conversations may feel easier at first, but it often leads to confusion or hurt later.
Being clear helps both people understand each other and respect each other’s boundaries.
Slow is Safe
Getting to know someone takes time.
We encourage our community to move slowly so they can notice how someone communicates, follows through, and treats them over time.
This helps you figure out if someone is kind, reliable, and safe to be around.
There is no need to rush into decisions. Taking things step by step helps build trust and leads to better, more stable relationships.
Pressure is Poison
When someone feels rushed, overwhelmed, or pushed, it becomes harder to connect and make good decisions.
We do not rush people into conversations, dates, or relationships.
You are allowed to take your time.
If something feels urgent, that is a sign to pause.
Healthy connection should feel calm, respectful, and not pressured.
MEET NOVA
AI-Powered Support
Included for every Constellations member — Stargazer and full membership alike.
Dating brings up a lot of uncertainty, and no two people come to it with the same skills or experience.
NOVA, our Constellations AI Assistant, is no substitute for working with a human coach — but you don't have to wait for an appointment to get help figuring out a next step. NOVA’s chat feature has been trained and built on our own coaching methods.
Feeling lost? NOVA is available to 24/7 in the member portal.
Ask NOVA
"What's a good place to go on a first date?"
"I received an introduction. What do I do next?"
"How do Connection Request work?"
We review Nova's conversations regularly, so if something needs a human's attention, our staff will know.
Inside the Member Portal
Enrollment unlocks an inclusive, private member portal to help you along your dating journey.
Nova
Your AI guidance tool, trained on our own coaching methods and available any time.
Ask a question about a text you're not sure how to read, or what to do after an introduction — you don't have to wait for
an appointment to get a real answer.
Ongoing conversations with other
members, built around real prompts — a space to talk, not just browse.
Discussion Boards
Resource Library
Practical, judgment-free articles on dating, communication, and connection — written specifically for how our members actually think and communicate, not generic dating advice.
See what's coming up and RSVP directly, instead of bouncing between your email and a separate booking tool.
Gatherings
Connection Requests
A structured, safety-forward way to express interest in another member and get to know them — entirely within your control.
Members receive complimentary or discounted admission to quarterly gatherings, held online and in select cities.
North Star
Accessibility Feature
Every article in our Constellations member portal is also available in a North Star version — the same guidance, written in more direct, concrete language, and designed to work well for readers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Any member can read either version, for any article, at any time — there's no need to choose one permanently or explain why. Neither version is the "main" one; they're simply two ways of saying the same thing.
$5,000 to join. $4,000/yearly after that.
Your initial payment covers enrollment and your first full year of membership. After that, you may renew annually for $4,000.
Constellations costs more than a typical dating membership because the work is not typical. It requires a team that understands neurodivergence and disability, experience introducing adults who have often felt sidelined in dating, and a trusted network built through years of conversations and referrals.
It remains a fraction of the cost of hiring a dedicated, full-service matchmaker.
