Neurodivergent Stories

A raw, unfiltered look into the mind of a teenager trying to navigate the chaos of life, identity, and social expectations.

I am a citizen of Dema. I am an escapee. I have failed time and time again. I have never seen the world outside this city, but one day I hope to. One day I will. My friend Clancy is like me. He is a citizen of Dema. He is an escapee. He is an exception. He has seen the world outside these imposing walls. He tells me about these people he's seen. He hasn't been able to speak with them yet, but he gets closer with each escape. I'm going to ask him to take me the next time he goes. I want to see these people for myself. I want to know if we can survive outside of Dema. Because I want to live.

PREQUEL to RULE of TWO Elias Chambers was a masterpiece of professional warmth. To the world, he was the approachable architect, the steady father, and the man with the easy smile. But behind the front door, the collapse began. Every evening was a clinical breakdown from the sheer exhaustion of faking a "normal" soul. He was a man drowning in his own performance, burying every sensory struggle so he would never be a burden. Then, he saw the same flicker in his daughter. He watched her navigate the same disorganized static, a silent unit vibrating at a frequency the world refused to hear. "I have spent my life building walls to hide the truth. My last act is to leave a coordinate for the only two people who can see through them."

Pharma giant Goldenrod has closed every last skatepark in Montreal-and local skater gal Lulu is on the case! During her investigation of the conspiracy she suspects, she quite literally falls down a rabbit hole into a bizarre secret kept by Goldenrod's old nemesis: Sanctuary 17223, a research facility run by the AI doll Alvin, currently trapped in its own reality-breaking simulation technology. After freeing Alvin and accidentally wiping his database, Lulu teams up with him-or rather, becomes the User he is programmed to serve-to uncover the full story. Their first discovery, however, is that Lulu was onto something and is now being accused of a crime she (mostly) didn't commit. Stuck inside the Sanctuary, will she find a way to ethically kiss the sentient object of questionable origin- uh, reclaim her freedom? sanctuary17223.com

Collection of poems. Most revolving around mental illness and pain; life's circumstances. I write what I see and feel. I write with passion. Thank you all that take the time out to read.

A tiny book of tiny poems. I have so many projects in the works, many of which I have more faith in as ways to become an established writer---and this one fell by the wayside as a result. I wanted to create a book of poems nested in art pieces, very similar to a project my best friend has been working on for many years. I don't really plan to take this project much further, so I think I'd share it here instead.

The war for the light has only just begun. ​After the miraculous victory at Oakhaven Cathedral, Courageous has finally embraced her destiny. No longer just a girl from Von Ormy with a tragic past, she is now the High Sentinel, the anointed leader of the Remnant-a growing group of "Chosen Ones" gifted with supernatural abilities. Alongside her stands Canaan Ozz, her spiritual soulmate and husband, whose divine strength serves as the sword to her shield. ​But peace is a fragile thing. ​Deep in the rugged wilderness of the Davis Mountains, the fallen guardian Malachi has found a new, more insidious weapon. He has abandoned the blunt force of shadows for the Thorn of Remembrance-an ancient curse designed to poison the memories of the Chosen and turn their own gifts against them. ​As a mysterious sickness begins to rot the spirits of the Remnant, Courageous finds herself facing an enemy that her healing touch cannot fix. To save her people and her marriage, she must journey into the dark history of the Watchers and confront the one memory she was never meant to recover. ​In a world where the line between holy light and haunting shadows is blurring, Courageous must decide: how much of her past is she willing to reclaim to protect her future?

Y/n's life with the avengers is a little crazy 😜

patrick jane works for the cbi (california Bureau of Investigation). he is highly intelligent and happy all the time. everyone thinks he is childish or weird when he gets invested in cases or gets intrigued by little things like a figurine or a motorbike or even just a compliment. the truth is he's masking all the time as he has told no one, not even Lisbon, the leader of the team, he has been diagnosed with autism and he can't help the way he is. The characters are taken from the series mentalist. I have borrowed them and adapted them for my use.

Finn finally graduates high school, only to be violently thrown into the depths of adulthood. With no support system to help him navigate the world, his autism becomes a towering obstacle in every daily endeavor. Finding a job was hard enough; finding any real comfort in this new life proves even harder. He clings to fragments of his old routine, burying himself in books--as always--to shield himself from the anxiety of independence. However--for the first time--he finds someone who draws him into the real world, fighting against his deep-seated urge to disappear from it. Despite it being new and intimidating, he allows his own curiosity to pull him in further. After years of longing to be 'normal' and self-induced isolation, he pushes himself to reach out. ----------------------------------------------------- Draft, but will be finished. Hoping to edit, revise, and self publish when completed :) any feedback helps

Elara Kosta has never belonged to just one place. Born into a mosaic of cultures: Greek, Kazakh, Aboriginal Australian, Chilean, Portuguese, Swedish, and Egyptian; and living with ADHD, she's spent her whole life trying to explain a story that doesn't fit in a single sentence. When a school project forces her to "choose one culture", and a DNA test reveals a half-sister in the Netherlands, Elara's sense of self begins to unravel. From school presentations and field hockey wins, to mental health speeches, and university acceptance, this is a story of identity, neurodivergence, sisterhood, and first love. In a world that wants her to be one thing, Elara is learning to be herself.

Arthur grew up as the son of King Uther Pendragon, first a knight and then the crown prince of Camelot. He was the golden boy, everyone loved him. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but that all changed when Merlin came to town. Merlin grew up with a single mother in a small village. His skin was darker than his neighbors and his mothers. He came to Camelot to find work and to hide his gifts of magic. Merlin swept Arthur off his feet and into a life of adventure and battles. The Secrets of Camelot, TSC, is a middle-grade retelling of the Arthurian legends, with LGBT and neurodivergent characters. It follows a young Prince Arthur growing up, discovering himself, and saving Camelot from ruin and destruction by both his enemies and his own people. With the help of his friends and lover.

a collection of ramblings, or writings, or discussions. a way for me to talk, to connect, with the things i want to. a way for me to try and track my journey to becoming happy. i will have warnings at the beginnings of chapters, just in case i cover any sensitive topics.

For most of my life, I believed something was wrong with me. I was too blunt. Too quiet. Too uninterested in the social rituals everyone else called "polite." The things that felt natural to me-honesty, introspection, following instinct-were treated as flaws that needed correcting. And the thing I loved most, video games, was dismissed as childish or meaningless. So for years, I internalized a simple idea: maybe I was the problem. But stories have a strange way of reflecting truths we struggle to see in ourselves. Through games like *Persona 3*, *Metal Gear Solid V*, and *Metal Gear Rising*, I found characters wrestling with identity, morality, and the blurry line between good and evil. Their struggles mirrored my own questions: What does it really mean to be evil? Are morality and "rightness" simply rules society creates? And what happens when your instincts don't align with those rules? This essay is a reflection on growing up undiagnosed autistic, being judged for the way I think and communicate, and finding meaning in stories that many people dismissed. Because sometimes the things people tell you are wrong about you... are actually the things that help you understand the world the most.

a poetry diary documenting my life, my mental health, and my loves.
