My gawd, but I'm an airhead. I meant to reply to this and even thought about how I would reply as I was scheduling it for publication.

My own queer writing, perhaps especially my fiction, is shaped by my autism to quite a profound degree, I think. I have never thought about if I'm writing to a neurodivergent audience, but I'm most def writing things that I would want to read, so I guess I am.

I've written more about my autism and how it affects my writing here:
