Before submitting your article for consideration, please review the following guidelines:

Content Guidelines

• You may write on any topic within the realm of neurodiversity. We especially appreciate first-person stories from neurodivergent folks and members of mixed neurotype families, as well as articles showcasing new research related to neurodivergent people and book reviews related to neurodiversity.
• We believe autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergence are normal, natural parts of being human, NOT illness or diseases to be cured. Articles from neurotypical people promoting ways to “cure” autistic people and others will not be accepted. In general, all articles should be written from a neuro-affirming point of view.

• Your post should be at least 1000-1200 words. There is no upper word limit.
• Please use bullets, lists, and short paragraphs wherever reasonable – it makes reading much easier.
