We’ve all been there — staring at the page, feeling the weight of brain fog, exhaustion, or just… the nothingness. In this episode, we dive into the real (and messy) process of writing while neurodivergent, and how tools like AI can offer more than just shortcuts — they can offer access.
We talk:
- Creative shutdowns & autistic burnout
- The guilt of “not doing enough”
- How dictation, prompting, and support make space for your voice
- And why it’s okay to write sideways, slowly, and in your own time
Plus, Thimble drops in with the gentlest reminder that you’re never broken — just buffering.
