Asking for a friend...Is it acceptable to write 'is for the director's cut' rather than 'is beyond the scope of this chapter'? Because, honestly, I'd prefer it
I have read this and it is a landmark book. Essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections between neurodiversity, literature, and literary studies - but also a really engaging, thought-provoking read!
Dr Louise Creechan@louisecreechan.bsky.social · last yr.HUGE DAY My editor copies of 'Critical Neurodiversity Studies: Divergent Textualities in Literature and Culture' arrived!! I'm so excited for this to be out in the world (officially 7th Aug) The volume asks 'what would a neurodivergent framework for literary studies look like'?
"itinerancy has become a way to craft an alternative to standardised work opportunities... largely engineered according to neurotypical models... which do not allow my neurodivergences to breathe within my professional identity." - @thewelcomehut.bsky.social thepolyphony.org/2025/07/28/i...
Itinerant Relationality and Neurodivergent Community Praxis: Exploring Vagabond Belongings
Christian Hanser describes relating via the traditional dwelling of the shepherd’s hut to spheres once inaccessible to him due to neuronormative standards in career development.

Now @louisecreechan.bsky.social gives #BAVS2025 a truly fantastic paper arguing for critical neurodiversity studies to arrive in Victorian Studies. L reads "The Lifted Veil" as neurodivergent: her voice recording of ideas echoes Latimer's self-conscious omniscient address to a future reader...
I’m at BAVS 2025 - lovely to be donning my Victorian Studies hat (bonnet) after some time only sporting my critical neurodiversity studies one!
