It really is time we lost the term 'disorder' when describing autism/ADHD etc. It leads to faulty reasoning & prejudice. Neurodivergence is just a different cognitive makeup.
It'd be like saying someone with fair hair who burns more easily has a 'skin disorder'. We don't; we just say it's genetics.

Dear #r4today, Autism is not a "mental health disorder", it is a form of neurodivergence, different thing. Yes autistic individuals do tend to be more likely to be trans or non-binary, that doesn't mean autistic, trans or non-binary individuals have mental health issues, get your reporting sorted.

I think we can all agree that I'm officially HOPELESS at keeping up with Bluesky, but I'm still here, kind of! Over the past few months I've been working on 2 new WIPs, completed another project with Fiction Express, delivered a workshop to c.100 people at the @writingeastmidlands.com conference…

Really disturbed by an ad I've just seen for a 'service' promising a pathway to publishing run by someone whose website is littered with spelling errors. The books on their site have AI covers and blurbs, maybe the content too, who knows. I am not against indie publishing but this grift is not cool.

In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.

Excited to share that my story THE GHOSTS OF HOLLY HALL is being launched this Friday with Fiction Express! Every week, readers will vote for where they want the story to go next. And isn't the cover great? My MC, Lauren, has mild cerebral palsy like I do – I'm thrilled this has been represented!

Been a bit quiet on here because of life/work stuff, but popping up to wish everyone a Merry Christmas/holiday season and a Happy New Year! Auburn has already been at the gin, as you can see… 😂

Today involved getting up early to do some writing (yay!) but also getting a MASSIVE filling redone and the left half of my face being completely numb for 4 hours afterwards (boo). I'm quite tired now...
