Need character suggestions and tropes

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, everyone!

I’m currently working on a fantasy novel that features a neurodivergent protagonist navigating two realities—a futuristic real world and a vivid, surreal secondary reality called the Infiniverse. The main character, Klic, has traits of ADHD and slight autism, which influence his abilities and interactions in both worlds. My goal is to create an authentic, relatable portrayal while ensuring his neurodivergence plays a meaningful role in the story.

I’d love to hear your advice or personal experiences that could help shape Klic’s character. Specifically:

How can I respectfully portray the nuances of ADHD and autism in a fantastical context?
What are some tropes to avoid when writing neurodivergent characters?
Are there ways his neurodivergence could enhance his heroic journey in unexpected or creative ways?
Your feedback would be invaluable in helping me craft a story that resonates with neurodivergent readers. Thank you in advance for your insights!

Please help build KlicMania and raise awareness to not just ADHD and autism, but all neurodivergency.

Thank You !
