What does neuroqueering look like? What shape is time? How is executive functioning like compulsory heterosexuality?? All this and more in today’s episode featuring my dear friend Marta Rose, a queer AuDHD writer and artist who founded Divergent Design Studios, an online peer support space for neurodivergent creatives, and KR Moorhead, an AuDHD, gender non-compliant educator, author, and creative writing mentor. This fall, they’re running a 12-week course with Meg Max of Writers in Bloom called Neuroqueering Your Creative Practice, and I was curious to hear more about what neuroqueering means in their own lives.
