Content warnings & author’s note

Dark content level 2 of 5: Non-vanilla spice, group scenes

Neurodivergent representation

This series proudly features representation of neurodivergent characters. With personal experience with ASD and ADHD, along with clinical knowledge, I aim to portray these characters authentically. It's important to remember that neurodivergence exists on a spectrum and looks different for everyone. Nothing written or implied is intended as a blanket statement or generalization of any member of the neurodivergent community.
