I will be your neurodiversity sensitivity reader for fiction
Creativity and Personal Development Mentor
About this Gig
Are you writing an autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent character and want their representation to feel authentic?
Im a neurodivergent writer and coach specializing in female neurodivergence, with a background in science. I also write fiction, so I understand both sides of the process: the authors creative intentions and the readers experience of representation.
I can review your manuscript, scenes, or characters for:
Authenticity of neurodivergent traits and experiences
Stereotypes, clichés, and potentially harmful portrayals
Language and terminology
Characterisation and internal experience
Masking, sensory experiences, executive functioning, and emotional regulation
Autism, ADHD and gifted representation
Female neurodivergence and late-identified experiences
Does the character feels like a person rather than a collection of symptoms
My goal is not to police your creative choices or tell you how every neurodivergent person should behave. Neurodivergent people are diverse, and fictional characters should be too.
Instead, Ill help you identify places where your representation may feel stereotypical, inaccurate, confusing, or harmful and suggest ways to make it believable

FAQ
What types of neurodivergence can you review?
I specialize in autism, ADHD and gifted, particularly female neurodivergence and late-identified experiences. I can also discuss broader neurodivergent representation, depending on the project.
Do you need to be neurodivergent yourself to be a sensitivity reader?
I bring lived experience of neurodivergence together with my background in science, coaching, and fiction writing. However, no single person can represent every neurodivergent experience, so I will be transparent about the limits of my perspective.
Can you review a neurodivergent character even if the whole story isn't about neurodivergence?
Absolutely. I can focus specifically on a character, subplot, relationship, scene, or particular aspect of representation.
Will you rewrite my character for me?
My service focuses on analysis and feedback rather than rewriting your manuscript. I can suggest alternatives and explain why a particular portrayal may not work.
Can you tell me whether my representation is offensive or stereotypical?
Yes. I can flag potentially harmful stereotypes, stigmatizing language, misconceptions, or portrayals that may feel inauthentic, while explaining the reasoning behind my feedback.
