About this Event

A six week course of workshops and reflection to facilitate self-acceptance, confidence and knowledge in your neurodivergent identity, through creative writing (and reading).

Suitable for beginning or established creative writers and neurodivergent people at any stage of their journey (eg: exploring, self-identified, late diagnosed etc).

Topics covered will include:

  • Self-Acceptance
  • Sensory Differences
  • Masking and Unmasking
  • Communicating Differently
  • Being Neurodivergent in a Neurotypical World
  • Imagining New Futures

We will write our own words and look at material from neurodivergent and neuroqueer authors including: Joanne Limburg, Nick Walker, Katherine May, Melanie Yergeau, Selima Hill

The course will take place in a small (up to 16), neuro-affirming group on Zoom.

Sundays, 6.30-8pm (GMT) starting 26/01/25

Reading material and details of the writing exercises will be provided in advance of each session (some people may prefer to look at material in advance, whilst others will prefer to encounter it for the first time in the session. Either is fine!).
