Beyond the Spectrum is a writing project which celebrates autistic creativity and creates spaces for neurodivergent people to write together. In this one-off poetry workshop, with autistic professional writer Pippa Hennessy, you will write alongside like-minded people to respond to prompts and craft a poem reflecting your own experiences and creative process. Best of all, it’ll be fun! You’re welcome if you already write, or if you’ve never written anything creative before!
“I’ve enjoyed the chance to meet and chat with other autistic people who are interested in writing. I’ve loved being able to develop my skills with people who understand when I’m not able to present myself as neurotypical.” Beyond the Spectrum workshop participant
About Beyond the Spectrum
Who says neurodivergent people can’t be creative? Writing East Midlands’ Beyond the Spectrum has been disproving misconceptions since 2021, through online workshops and live performances, building a community of supportive and highly creative writers in the process. This session will give you a taster of how the wider project works, and tell you how to join if you’re interested in doing more writing.
