the voices of neurodiversity


Are you a neurodiverse author?  


As an ND person, as well as a parent of ND kids, I've had some nightmare experiences that could've been avoided with a little understanding. Medical professionals, teachers, religious leaders, counselors, classmates, coworkers . . . There are so many people who have a big effect on our lives. Imagine if we didn't constantly have to explain ourselves:


No, I literally cannot sit still * He's screaming because he knows you're uncomfortable around him and it makes him uncomfortable * I'm sorry my son touched you, but is it really necessary to have a fist fight in Walmart over it?


This is why I'm collecting TRUE accounts of your life experience for an anthology. I will also be sharing my own story.


I'm looking especially for your perspectives on:  


  • difficulty obtaining medical / psychiatric care, such as affording meds, or getting professionals to take your symptoms seriously
  • discrimination / mistreatment you've faced at work, school, etc.
  •  have your relationships been affected by your symptoms? Are your family members supportive?
  • YOUR SUCCESSES! This one is very important!
  • anything positive you've experienced as a result of your neurodivergence 
  • anything you've tried that helps you feel better that isn't a prescription medication
  • any suggestions for accommodations that would help you manage your symptoms
  • anything else you want people to know about neurodiversity
