Who I Write For and Why I Write

and a little bit about how I do it, too

Writing, for me, is about addressing what often gets left out of mainstream discourse. It's not about adding to the noise, but about connecting with people whose experiences and perspectives aren’t adequately represented. My writing aims to explore the intersection of personal reflection and broader social realities, speaking to those who, like me, are navigating the complexities of power, identity, and survival.

1. I Write for the Neurodivergent Community:

At the core of my writing is a focus on the neurodivergent experience. Having discovered my own neurodivergence later in life, I understand the pressure to mask, to fit into spaces that don’t accommodate difference. I write for people who are tired of that struggle—those who live in a society that often fails to recognize or value their unique perspectives.

My goal is to unmask through my writing, offering a space where neurodivergent individuals can reflect on the emotional toll of trying to conform. I write to challenge the systems that make it hard for us to thrive, aiming to create a sense of recognition and solidarity for those navigating similar challenges.

2. I Write for the Marginalized and Oppressed:

Beyond neurodivergence, I’m committed to writing for people who experience marginalization due to race, gender, sexuality, or economic status. My work exposes the deeper systems of oppression—capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy—that shape these experiences. It's about going beyond surface-level discussions and tackling the roots of structural violence.

I write to contribute to the broader movements for social justice, seeking to amplify the voices of those silenced by systemic forces. My focus is on the realities of these struggles, with the goal of imagining new ways of being and organizing society that prioritize equity, care, and justice.

3. I Write for Those Disillusioned by Neoliberalism:

Neoliberalism's focus on productivity, status, and individualism has left many people feeling disconnected and burnt out. I write for those questioning the narratives that measure success in terms of output and material achievement. My writing offers a space to reconsider these values, inviting readers to think about fulfillment beyond the expectations imposed by capitalist structures.

For those who feel the constant pressure to do more and be more, my work serves as a counter-narrative—a call to reflect on what really matters in life. I explore alternative ways of living that prioritize well-being, creativity, and connection over the relentless drive for productivity.

4. I Write for the Radical Imaginers:

I write for people who are not content with the world as it is and who are committed to imagining a better future. For activists, thinkers, and dreamers who believe in systemic change, my work is an effort to contribute to those broader movements. It's not just about critique; it’s about building something new.

Whether the topic is autistic flourishing, coalition-building, or the dismantling of oppressive systems, my writing is aimed at those who understand that creating a just world requires not just resistance but also reconstruction. I seek to offer insight and practical ideas that can contribute to these collective efforts.

5. I Write for Myself:

Writing is also a way for me to process my own thoughts and experiences. It helps me work through the complexities of my identity—my neurodivergence, my commitment to social justice, and my relationship with the world around me. Writing is an act of self-reflection and clarity.

At the same time, it's a way of asserting my voice in a world that can feel overwhelming. Writing allows me to articulate the things that often go unspoken, both in personal and political terms. By writing for myself, I also create a space where others can find their own reflections.

Creating What Needs to Be Written

Much of my writing stems from the recognition that certain perspectives aren’t being adequately addressed. I’m not interested in adding to the noise—I write to fill gaps in public discourse.

Whether it’s critiquing the pressures on neurodivergent individuals or questioning the constant demands of capitalism, my goal is to offer something new. I’m not here to recycle existing debates but to create work that challenges and rethinks the dominant narratives.

How and Why I Use AI

I use AI as a tool to improve efficiency, allowing me to focus on the substance of my work. AI helps with the mechanical aspects of writing, but the ideas, arguments, and voice are entirely mine. I use whatever tools are available to push the work forward faster and with greater clarity.

AI plays a practical role in helping me get my ideas down faster and more efficiently. It’s not about replacing creativity or thought; it’s about enhancing the writing process. I use it to sharpen the structure and flow of my work, allowing me to focus on what matters most: the depth and quality of the ideas.
