H Noss 🏳️‍🌈<p>Neurodivergent characters come in all shapes, sizes, experiences, quirks, and more. In this blog post, you’ll find writing prompts for neurodivergent characters based on common experiences, from special interests to overstimulation.</p><p>I created these writing prompts and character ideas to celebrate Neurodiversity Celebration Week, an annual week-long event about awareness, acceptance, and education for neurodiversity. </p><p>Being neurodivergent myself, I think it’s always a good idea to have authentic representation in fiction, whether it’s a short story, novella, or novel, and regardless of genre.</p><p>If you know any neurodivergent writers, please feel free to send them the link!</p><p><a href="https://hnossproofreads.co.uk/writing-prompts-for-neurodivergent-characters/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hnossproofreads.co.uk/writing-</span><span class="invisible">prompts-for-neurodivergent-characters/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WritingPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingPrompts</span></a></p>

Dr Becci Quirky Brain Coach<p>Do you procrastinate? Are you ADHD and/or autistic?</p><p>I procrastinate. It's actually what tipped me off to being ADHD, all the way back in 2016.</p><p>I want you to know that<br>- procrastination is not a moral failing and doesn't make you a garbage person<br>- what procrastination is and isn't (and thus the most logical ways to think about addressing it if and when you want to)<br>- my experiences of procrastination and how I used to feel about myself - but how I feel NOW - because of it<br>- ways you can think about procrastination if it's bothering you</p><p>As such, I've put together my first podcast in an age...it's the lowdown on procrastination!</p><p>And because perfect is the enemy of done, and perfectionism is one of the biggest emotional drivers of procrastination, I have put out a great episode that has one or two small editing glitches rather than...procrastinate ages over getting it absolutely perfect!</p><p>I hope this episode is useful.
