Neurodivergent Stories

Here I am, a rabbit-hearted girl. HARRY POTTER. autistic female oc PoA ─── DH written by eliza

This is kind of just a plethora of my thoughts over the years, a little snapshot of my perspective on life. It may not be structured, but its entirely true. My goal with this collection of stories is to show people that they are not alone, and that someone may be struggling with something similar. I'm open to topics to talk about, to share my opinion on. I don't know how long this one will be, that's a story for another time. So, for now, happy reading.

Reality is not fragile. It is regulated. Choices leave traces. Some are corrected. Others are quietly absorbed. There are rules for who may see the structure, rules for who may touch it, and rules for what happens when those rules are broken. It's about what happens when the system notices awareness.

19-year-old Rhiannon Jones wants nothing more than to escape the boring everyday of her life in England, and she has always dreamt of living in New York City. So when she gets the opportunity to go and study abroad at Columbia University, she jumps at the chance. She thinks it will also allow her to make some new friends, and finally find somewhere she belongs after years of not fitting in anywhere. And she does end up finding a friend when she meets Jack Metzger, who is one of her new roommates at Columbia, and who turns out to be the only person she's ever met who sees the world the same way she does. They quickly become close, and Rhiannon can't help but wonder if there could be something more than friendship between them. Will she follow her heart, or will she hide her feelings in fear of losing the one person who truly understands her?

Fourteen-year-old Lanjo Zampa perceives the world in jagged edges and electric hums. To him, the local fairground isn't a place of fun-it's a sensory minefield of thundering machinery and blinding neon. Protected by his older sister, Cherry, and his trusty green noise-cancelling headphones, Lanjo braves the chaos for one goal: to see the world from the top of the "Star-Gazer" ferris wheel. But when a mechanical failure strands them at the very peak, the siblings are thrust into a sudden, forced silence high above the suburban sprawl. In the stillness of the night sky, Lanjo finally confesses his deepest fear-that his brain is "broken" and needs fixing. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Cherry reveals that her own bold aesthetic isn't just a style, but the "armor" she uses to survive the same loud world. Together, they discover that their differences aren't disabilities to be cured, but strengths that simply require the right environment to flourish.

a teenager and her stupid journey into making friends after 17 years of homeschool and barely leaving the house.

At twenty-one, Ben lives in a world of precise lines and quiet patterns. He is non-verbal, autistic, and currently trapped in a physical nightmare. A rotting tooth has turned his jaw into a source of agonizing pain, but the help available is a different kind of torture. Traditional dentists are a storm of high-pitched kindness, invasive small talk, and chaotic waiting rooms. For Ben, the wait for a specialist sedation clinic is eighteen months long - time he doesn't have. Desperate, Deborah scours the internet for a suitable dentist for Ben. She reads reviews of every practice finding each one unhelpful. But then she finds Rose Avenue. Dr. Martin Vane. The reviews describe him as clinical, blunt, and eerily precise. They speak of a man who runs a silent clinic where efficiency is god and bedside manner is non-existent. He sounds perfect. He sounds like the only man Ben might actually let touch him. But when she takes the leap and travels to Rose Avenue, Deborah discovers that reputation and reality have begun to drift apart. The sanctuary she expected is under threat, and the clinical silence she was promised is being drowned out by a world that values pleasantries over precision. With Ben's pain reaching a breaking point, Deborah is forced to go beyond the local clinics and hunt for the Stone Man herself.

Anna is a young girl who doesn't act quite like her friends...or her parents...or quite like anyone, really. Anna grows up wondering what in the world is wrong with her. Nobody explains anything to her. People talk in front of her like she's not there. She gets looks when she does things that are just normal to her. This is a story told in entirely poetry of Anna, her struggles and victories, adventures and misadventures, passions and interests. While Anna feels alone...she's really just one of the many people who are neurodivergent- a more modern term for mentally ill, or disabled. "Ambush." was written for neurodivergent people, by a young neurodivergent teen who seeks to be properly represented in the media. "Ambush." seeks to break the trend of us neurodivergent people being seen as monsters, weirdos, disappointments, and useless to society. We exist, and we will be heard! Anna was raised where people didn't know about neurodivergence. Anna wasn't treated properly, no one would listen to her and nothing was explained to her, so her mental health suffered even more. We need to talk more about mental illness. Anna is by all rights, a wonderful person, and so is every neurodivergent person, but society teaches us that we are wrong, gross, and shouldn't exist. I want to work towards stopping that trend. By writing "Ambush.", I wanted to provide a character that was easy to relate to. I wanted to write about things that some neurodivergent people go through. I wanted to do something to help end the stigma. I know my little poetry book about a neurodivergent girl probably won't do a lot, but I hope it does something. Thanks for being here and reading!

The Greek gods in general honestly don't mind modern times. Sure, a whole lot less people believe in them, and that greatly reduces their powers, but it saves them time since they don't have to talk to priestesses, or help heroes kill monsters, or make earthquakes to swallow pesky mortals. But one day, in the middle of breakfast (I know, right? The blasphemy) aliens arrive. And the aliens have their own gods. And their gods are stronger, because the aliens actually believe in them. And so a mix of different gods from different pantheons embark on a quest to make humanity believe in them again. Unfortunately, times have changed, and that won't be as easy as it was thousands of years ago.

How art and creativity have helped me connect to my children with profound autism

Elara Vale is fifteen years old and already exhausted. After her parents die in a drunk-driver crash, Elara becomes the only constant in her brother Sam's life. Sam is eighteen, autistic, and fragile in ways the world does not forgive easily. He needs routines. Quiet. Certainty. Elara gives him all of it, even when it costs her sleep, friends, and pieces of herself she doesn't know how to name. School is something she endures. She starts to believe school is another word for Hell. Authority makes her anxious. Teachers feel unpredictable. Then suddenly she finds out like the other students at Blackwood High that her strict professor has died due to extreme circumstances And In her place arrives Professor Lucien Ward. He is calm. Charismatic. Impossible to resist. Students confess secrets they never meant to speak. Teachers obey without realizing they've chosen to. The school begins to feel less like a building and more like a system tightening around everyone inside it. Everyone bends to him. Everyone except Elara. Elara soon realises Professor Ward isn't who she thinks he is. Hiding in plain sight - not as a monster, but as a force that understands how minds move, how choices form, how free will breaks. Elara doesn't resist him because she's strong. She resists him because something inside her is missing. And for the first time in centuries, the Devil has found a mind he cannot enter. This is not a love story. This is not a redemption story. This is the story of control, grief, and what happens when the mechanism behind human choice becomes aware it's being watched. And once Lucifer notices the vacancy inside Elara Vale, he has only one question left: Can something empty still be owned?

The hallway wasn't there yesterday. Neither was the black door. Inside: four walls, one chair, and a notebook that shouldn't know anything - but does. It doesn't ask questions. It just listens. And sometimes... it writes back. - a short story about dissociation, silence, and the places we disappear to when no one's watching.
