Imagination vs Expression - storytelling as ADHD and autistic
Quote:
Apr 29, 2023 YORK Got so excited to talk about my creative limitations that I kept my coat on the whole time.
Neurodivergent minds can be characterised by expansive imaginations; many of the nd people I know can build whole worlds in their heads, in just moments.
This is an incredible gift, but it can also be hella frustrating and hard to handle. I had some thoughts recently around how I can channel all the stuff I imagine into something tangible and valuable for others. Not quite found an answer, but getting there.
This is a reminder to any nd thinkers - or anyone - that it's ok to keep some ideas for yourself, and definitely ok not to have figured out how to tell your stories just yet.
