(I recently realized I have never written a protagonist who wasn’t a-spec/asexual in some way, and doesn’t have PTSD. Yes! It’s kind of a funny situation because, since I’m definitely neurodivergent in several ways, I tend to write characters who think the same way. Are any of them autistic? Why are your representations important/necessary? This week RoAnna discussed her passion for creating neurodivergent characters in her writing.
Aside from writing oddly optimistic dystopia books, RoAnna is an autistic blogger, artist, singer, and voice actor. RoAnna Sylver is passionate about stories that give hope, healing and even fun for LGBT, disabled and other marginalized people, and thinks we need a lot more.
