I want to write a post for @repdisnd about why the inclusion of disabled & ND characters isn't enough - we need characters that represent our experiences.

It would be a great help to have input from other disabled & ND people...

Incorrect representation in entertainment & the media has led to some non-disabled people perceiving disabled and neurodivergent people in ways that are pure fiction.

By discussing representation, every July #repDISND aims to dismantle stereotypes.

🚨📝NEW BLOG POST💻🚨

As a part of #GeekDis, a discussion on disability representation in pop culture, I shared about 5 books I read this year with characters who had a mental illness or neurodivergence I personally related to (or didn't relate to!)

Please check out Laura's excellent post about her journey while writing a character with ADHD.

There's some really important points in here for writers, especially one from a teacher about finding books with representation for kids so they feel seen.

Anxiety, panic attacks and wheelchair user.

Every #GeekDis my book reviews focus on books with disabled and neurodivergent representation.

Some books have positive rep, some negative as I believe it is important to highlight both.

This is my GeekDis 2023 Book Review thread.

Fictional illness used as a metaphor for ME/CFS and chronic illnesses, and the social model of disability.
