Lived Experience Submissions

  • The Library is built around stories of lived experience and we welcome submissions from neurodiverse individuals, their family members, healthcare providers, and more! These stories can be expressed through art, music, writing, video, etc. 
  • Time commitment: These are one-time submissions, though you can submit as many times as you like (as long as the material is unique).
