Thank you, I really appreciate that! That’s so cool! I’ve definitely gotten fascinated by it through finding out I was autistic XD

I’m glad! And yeah, same here XD

Oh that’s so cool! That’s like… wayyy more than most writers have XD It’s so fun that you have a character that’s both like canonically autistic and that it affects her plot and character! That’s way too rare!

Really? I did not know this … huh! That makes me feel even better about it, because I love being different!

Yes I know that feeling! It’s so cathardic and validating to see your experience in another character, even if it’s one you wrote yourself. Maybe especially so!

EXACTLY

And I LOVE your WIP already!! It sounds too cool!! (Totally sign me up when you need beta-readers!!) Both Coryn and Clanner sound so interesting! And I love that you thought about how neurodivergence would influence a system like that! Usually, stuff like sci-fi never takes that into account, which is kinda sad because there’s so much potential conflict!

Thank you so much!! (I definitely will!)
Yeah, I thought I’d try to give a voice to those labelled negatively because of their neurodivergence :]

Oh don’t apologize! We all do it all the time, infodumps are very much appreciated here!

ahw, thank you!

YES please do!! I’d love any opportunity to talk about it!!

Ahhhh will do, then!!

Actually… me and @Calidris collabed on a newsletter about autism representation a while ago!

If you’re curious here’s the link to our newsletters, and please let me know if you’d like me to resend the newsletter to you!

Thank you!! I’ll look into it!

I think it’s about time to start a new challenge!  We can finish up some of the interactions we’re already doing first 🙂

Sounds great!! So hyped! 🫶🏽

CALIX:

“Well…is there anything I can do to help?” she kicked her shoe against the floor. “It’ll probably be better for you to join the rest of us when the next challenge hit, right?”

“Ch-challenge?” I asked, my voice too thick to not be embarrassing. With a creak of the knees, I struggled to my feet. “What do you mean?”

Are there fighting challenges?

I didn’t like fighting.

Oh no, what if I have to face my sister? What if I have to kill someone, or worse, EVE.

I began to spiral and it was too late-

Down, down, down goes my anxiety into the plummeting abyss like the one in Dhâradun, and I was going too fast for my own self. I couldn’t stop.
