Neurodivergent Authors - Brigitte Ann Thomas

1) As an author, do you write neurodivergent characters? 

 I think so, but I’m not sure if I have directly mentioned any kind of neurodivergency in my writing, but I’ve written several characters that are at least partly me, and I’m AuDHD.

2) How does your neurodivergency impact your writing?

 Sometimes, I have a hard time sitting down to write because I feel like I have too many options to work on. I have a hard time motivating myself without hard deadlines. 

3) What aspects of neurodivergency do you wish were more mainstream and that more people understood?

 ADHD; so many people think it’s just being easily distracted and that Adderall is a fix-all for it. 

4) Do you have any other neurodivergent authors that you would recommend?

 M Leigh Morhaime

5) What are you working on next?

 A few anthology pieces, some poetry books, hopefully a collab with my best author friend, and a thousand other WIPs
