New Blame the Amygdala Site

After trying out a number of different platforms, and then quite frankly falling behind with life and technology, I have decided to just run my own website. I write both fiction and nonfiction, usually about mental health issues. Many moons ago, much of my writing was about psychopathy and serial killers, which I will still post about. Now, I’d like to share a range of writing and ideas, mostly for the sake of entertainment, but every now and again I will tackle something critical.

I am neurodivergent and a lot of my writing will touch on the struggles I have personally endured. I believe neurodiversity to be a complex topic and we are currently seeing an explosion of neurodivergent culture appear through social and mass media. Like any movement, there will always be disagreement around terminology and what the realistic outcome of the movement might be. These discussions are important and everyone is entitled to their pain and the right to share their experience peacefully with others.

I do think that conditions like ADHD and autism have been radically underdiagnosed and I think we are only really scratching the surface on what neural diversity means between every single individual. I don’t advocate for any particular therapy, only to be informed and learn to think and act for yourself.

I’m far more interested in creating, seeing, and sharing neurodivergent art and writing, because that shit is sexy as hell.
