Beskrivning

Neurodivergent individuals frequently face distinct challenges within creative fields such as music, literature, performance, media, and the visual arts. Recognising how their experiences intersect with creative expression and employment is essential, not only to support individual potential but also to expand our understanding of inclusivity in these fields. The perspectives of neurodivergent creatives bring valuable insights into the often-hidden challenges and strengths within a set of industries driven by innovation and diversity.Creative Minds, Divergent Paths delves into the intricate relationship between neurodivergence and the creative industries, asking whether these individuals should be seen as “neurodivergent creatives” or “creative neurodivergents.” Through a blend of literature critique and original research, this work explores employment in the music and literary industries as well as in performance, media, and the visual arts. Lovesey incorporates lived experiences to reveal the tensions and potentials within creative fields, considering how these industries can be more inclusive. The study also examines the precarity of employment in creative sectors, as well as academia, where short-term work arrangements impact neurodivergent individuals’ stability and success. By examining stereotypes, definitions, and individual experiences, this work ultimately advocates for a democratic and community-driven approach to neurodiversity.Presenting a rich resource for scholars, creative professionals, and anyone invested in understanding the intersection of neurodiversity and creativity, the book invites readers to reimagine inclusivity in the arts and employment. Ultimately, using the creative industries as the means for shaping new narratives of neurodivergence, by neurodivergent creatives.
