Definitely an example of ND vs NT comms in this summation of my thread from lovely Allan. So let me explain myself better in a new 🧵
NB: I used neurodivergent* because in the examples I give common accusations that are levelled at a broad range of ND presentisms not just ADHDers
The (quoted)🧵 isn’t particularly for those who have been diagnosed ND, or suspect they might be, but welcome, you’ll already know/recognise this/be frustrated by this

There’s a lot of push for neurodivergent actors at the moment and I don’t think #agents realise but they’re already on their books. They’re just undiagnosed. The projected figures for NDs in acting/theatre is way bigger than general population
So how do you know if you’re already representing people who absolutely need more support and would benefit from more inclusive practises? I’ll tell you

Writerly discourse on writers who don’t read is basically just neurotypical writers setting standards for neurodivergent writers, the process to develop is different by brain design. The motivation is also different by brain design.
ND writing is a form of processing and the writing comes out in many ways: daydreaming, scripting conversations, filling notebooks, playing fantasy games, acting etc.
It’s not a thing we “like” to do, it’s a thing we “have” to do.
