Writing with Neurodiversity and Including Neurodiverse Characters with Claire Kohler

Wish I'd Known Then . . . For Writers

Episode 198 / Claire Kohler writes Scottish fantasy romance and is also an editor, tutor, and neurodiversity advocate. Claire shares how her autism and ADHD can be both a positive and a negative in her writing career and encourages neurodivergent writers to pursue their goals.

We also talk about slowing down, the power of writing routines, how to connect with other writers, and why representation of neurodivergent characters is important.

Sara is now all-in on Kdramas, and she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ask Claire for some Kdrama recommendations, which include Extraordinary Attorney Woo, The King’s Affection, Goblin, and several others.
