Is there more to neurodiverse representation in speculative fiction than robots, aliens and manic pixie dream people? Yes! It is possible for authors to give us characters on the spectrum who are more than a collection of stereotypes in a trenchcoat, and that includes characters who aren't diagnosed. A panel of neurodiverse fans and creators will discuss characters we think pass – or don’t pass! - as neurodivergent, and why.

Programme type: Panel
