masterlist of resources for writing disabled/chronically ill/neurodiverse characters

Disclaimer: I do not have every condition listed here (though I do have quite a few). I have verified as much as I could that each resource is a good source of information. If any of these is misleading or wrong in any way PLEASE let me know. I will fix it accordingly.

Wanting to branch into writing more diverse characters? Wanting to include representation for those who are neurodivergent, disabled, or chronically ill? The first step to branching out is to research the various conditions/diseases/disorders your character could have. You also need to research what day to day life would be like for them. These links should provide a starting base of information in writing and portraying these characters:

Recommended places to look for more information on your own:

PBS list of resources

PCOS awareness association

Right here on tumblr. there are tons of posts under tags related to the topics as well as the “#chronically ill” tag and “#spoonie” tag

Try and find either government websites or websites that belong to the specific research groups for those conditions

Psychiatry journals/texts

Reach out to those you know with a chronic illness (but ALWAYS be sure to ask if it is okay. for some people talking about their illnesses is traumatizing and personal. others (like me) are okay with it!

If there are illnesses not here that you would like represented, let me know! I plan on keeping this updated and continuing adding to it. Every link should take you directly to the source/post.

Remember, a lot of these are more common than you think. there will always be someone out there who feels represented by a character with one of these conditions/disorders/diseases. this kind of representation helps normalize the idea that it is okay to exist as a neurodivergent, chronically ill, or disabled person. you are allowed to have adventures and live a happy life.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!

KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE!

It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship!

MAKE THOSE PHONES RING!! CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES ALL WEEK

202-224-3121 i HIGHLY encourage everyone to read the bills in the KIDS Act, because you will be doing more than 95% of people who read and introduce these bills

thisrobothasnosoul

All of the bad internet bills. One website.

Crucially, this is being led by a lot of Democrats. This is not just Republicans sneaking bullshit in while they have the power to simply not listen to anyone; your democratic representatives will continue to co-sponsor and speak in support of this unless they know you, their voters, do not want them to.

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

AI is a freacking plague, I share this for any windows user.

meyerlansky

just. please know. that giffing scenes like that is a fucking nightmare labor of love.

to wit:

bottom's the raw capture, middle's just flat curve correction to make the footage visible, top is the final coloring with /counts seven adjustment layers to add back in Literally Anything But Yellow

every giffer i know does it out of love for the game, but for the record it's not... easy. it's not just slapping the footage in a cap grabber and posting whatever it spits out. "professional" lighting and color grading has only gotten waaay murkier and flatter in the fifteen years i've been giffing on here, so uh. don't repost gifs, please!

infiniteeight8

I thought the bottom was a black bar. I didn't even realize that was footage.

Everyone say thank you to your neighbourhood GIF maker! Giffers are so important to the fannish ecosystem, but to so many people the amount of work involved invisible.

STOP IT LOOK AT HIM

AUGUHHHHH NO ONE UNDERSGANDS HOW IMPOEFANT IT IS TO ME THAT TOSHINORI GETS TO GROW OLD AND RETIRE AND FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY BE GENUINELY HAPPY WITH HIS LIFE.

LIKE OK IVE SEEN HIM GENUINELY HAPPY BEFOFD BUT HE WAS BY NO MEANS HAPPY OR SATISFIED WITH HIS LIFE OR THE WAY HE WAS LIVING AND A GOOD PORTION OF THE TIME HE WAS ON SCREEN IT WAS OF HIM STRESSING OUT. NOW LOOK AT HIM. HES HAPPY AND HES OLD AND HES RETIRED AND HE HAS SMILE LINES. HE HAS SMILE LINES!!!!!!

and. AND HE SURVIVED. AGAINST ALL ODDS. AGAINST A DEVASTATING INJURY AGAINST A LITERAL PROPHECY STATING HE WOULD DIE AGAINST THE TYPICAL ‘MENTOR DIES’ TROPE AGAINST SO SO SO SO MANY FIGHTS AGAINST EVERY SINGLE THING HE SURVIVED. AND HE CHOSE TO DO THAT AND HE DID IT HES HAPPY HE CHOSE TO LIVE AND HE GETS TO BE HAPPY NOW.

I could genuinely talk for AGES about how important it is that he didn’t die. It’s such a massive thing about his character that he diverts the audience’s and other people’s expectations of him and what’s going to happen to him. From the very beginning where we first meet him and we learn he’s an emaciated depressed skeletal figure when we were introduced to him at the strongest hero to ever live who’s always smiling no matter what. When we learn he started quirkless and every single other thing that NO ONE would expect about All Might the former #1 pro hero!!!

Then there’s every single time something happens that gives us red flags saying ‘oh. He’s definitely going to die soon.’ (His injury, Nighteye’s prophecy, he even hints to it himself at some point in an episode where he says that he isn’t going to be here long enough to see Midoriya become a hero!!! AND THERES SO MUCH MORE.) only for it to be proven to us that the FUTURE THAT NIGHTEYE SEES CAAAN BE CHANGED! Only for him to turn around and PROMISE Deku that he was going to live.

soo much of his character is about subverting expectations and no one does it quite like he does. I could go on and on about this there’s so much more it’s so important to me. No matter how many horrible things happen to you no matter how you look no matter how inevitable it seems that this terrible thing is going to happen it doesn’t matter because even if everyone expects you to be this amazing person who can do anything you don’t have to be able to do everything!!! And that doesn’t make you useless!!! It makes you human!!

no matter how inevitable it seems for this terrible thing to happen you’re the one who can take it into your own hands and change it because it’s your life!!! And that is what Toshinori’s character is about! Everyone is human in their own right everyone has the ability to do anything even if you, yourself, expect to end up miserable and sad or even dead, you might surprise yourself because there is always ALWAYS a future where you can be happy, where you take the ending expected and crush it in your hands to create your own ending. A better ending for yourself. No matter what happens to you no matter your disabilities happiness is within reach for everyone, even if it takes eight years to get there.
