Workshop description: In this dialogue, we’ll discuss questions revolving around neurodivergent writers learning to work in an industry whose foundation is built on archaic, oppressive structures. We’ll chat about executive dysfunction, pathological demand avoidance, rejection sensitivity, as well as various other symptoms and how they affect our ability to thrive in today’s ecosystem as working writers. We'll ponder: how does neurodivergence play into the way a working writer shapes their day-to-day, pays taxes, meets deadlines, applies for grants, queries agents, or self-publishes their work? Through prompts and reflection, we’ll discuss the possibility of creating our own accommodations and advocating for change in the system to better accommodate for all of us.
