🌈 Sensitivity Reading for Queer and Neurodivergent Rep

Write with Confidence. Represent with Care.

As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, coach, and author, I offer sensitivity reading services for creators who want their stories to reflect mental health, ADHD, Autism, and LGBTQ+ experiences with accuracy and compassion.

Whether you're writing fiction, memoir, essays, or educational materials, I can help you avoid harmful stereotypes, deepen authenticity, and stay true to the communities you’re representing.

 

What I Review

✅ Mental Health Representation
Depression, trauma, therapy scenes, clinician behavior, diagnosis journeys, abuse recovery, etc.

✅ Neurodivergence
Lived-experience insight into ADHD and Autism (especially late-diagnosed or masked presentations)

✅ LGBTQ+ Representation
Gender identity, queerness in relationships, gender-affirming care, trans and nonbinary inclusion, coming out

What You’ll Receive

  • A detailed written report with notes, feedback, and suggested revisions

  • Thoughtful feedback to keep your story intact and your representation considerate
