Identity, Gender, and Neurodivergence

 This series affirms the complexity of identity in all its forms—autistic, neurodivergent, queer, trans, nonbinary, and more.

It does not separate these truths. It does not flatten them for comfort.

 In The Cursed Ones, identity isn’t a subplot. It’s the point. It’s the war being fought—against systems that silence, distort, or punish difference.

Some characters are autistic, masked so long they forgot who they were. Some are queer or gender-expansive. Some are all of those things at once.

And none of them exist to be pitied, fixed, or explained away.

 This is not a coming-out story.
It’s a coming-through story—through fire, through grief, through shutdown and silence and centuries of being told you are wrong for existing this way.

 It is a story of stimming in the dark. Of finding your name. Of choosing truth even when it burns.

This is not representation for optics. This is lived, embodied reality—rewritten through fantasy to make space for what was never allowed to live out loud.

 And it belongs to anyone who’s ever asked, “Is it safe to be me?”

 If you see yourself here—you’re supposed to.
