7 Ways Fiction Writing Can Benefit Autistic People EP 7

In this episode of Autistic POV, I share 7 ways writing fiction has been helpful to me. Some of these benefits go all the way back to childhood. I discovered others as I wrote my upcoming vampire novel (Trancing Miranda). I wanted to share this info because I think that other autistic people might find this way of looking at storytelling helpful. Having said that, please note—these are my own personal perks. Not all autistic writers will have the same experience and I would love to hear any differences that might pop up on your list!

Also, please note, these are interpersonal benefits that have nothing to do with building a business or making money.

And thank you for listening!!!

UPDATE: I tried calling the blog Autistic POV for a while but I felt like it didn’t really explain the range of content so I went back to Writing After Dark. I think using dark kind suggests dreamwork and am I writing (and talking) about autism (in addition to dreamwork and my writing.)
