Trans Book Festival: Writing the Neuroqueer Experience
It’s no secret that gender diversity and neurodiversity often go hand in hand, with a growing body of research pointing to a significant co-occurrence of the two experiences. There’s even a new word to describe this overlap: neuroqueer. But what does it actually mean to live and write at the intersection of these non-normative ways of being? For a deep dive into all things neuroqueer, join autism scholar Clem Bastow (Someone Like Me) and acclaimed writers Darcy Green (After the Siren), Jess Ho (Someone Like Me) and Kai Ash (The Boy Maeve). Chaired by Jasper Peach (My Body is My Home).
