I'm super proud of my fellow BFS committee members E.M. Faulds & David Green for being so open & vulnerable about what it's like to be a neurodiverse writer. I already posted Beth's piece, but as we continue the BFS's celebration of Neurodiversity Week , here BFS Secretary David Green is searingly honest about what it’s like to be autistic and a writer—especially one who writes about neurodiverse characters.
To mark #neurodiversitycelebrationweek, we're sharing this article from the WCAG blog called Digital Accessibility and Neurodiversity: Designing for our unique and varied brains.
WCAG goes beyond standards, advocating for inclusivity in design. Integrating these principles benefits all users, including those with neurodivergence, often overlooked in design.
It's #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek. I'm still vaguely taken aback (and, conversely, not at all surprised) that I belong to this tribe, for want of a better word. It must be in the family as another member was diagnosed recently. I wish I'd known earlier that I was a giraffe living in a society built around ostriches and that being unable to lay eggs does not mean that I am failing or deficient in any way. #adhd#asd#autism @actuallyautistic
