Part of our 12-Week Writing Series for autistic creatives and late-diagnosed adults.
In this episode of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon sits down with fellow author, poet, and performer Tim Clare to explore what it means to find your creative calling—and why you don’t have to travel far to tell a story worth sharing.
As part of our Neurodivergent Narratives Writing Series, this episode dives into a prompt inspired by the writing technique known as local color. Your surroundings are full of story. Your perception is the lens. Your noticing is the art.
We also announce the winners of our Week 8 writing prompt contest!
