Why Print.Able

 Why Print.Able

 

Print.Able is a platform for all who fall on the neurodivergent spectrum, of all levels of "ability" and "functionality." We do not judge people for their submissions, nor do we control what our contributors share with us (other than in exceptional cases). Our aim is to allow neurodivergent individuals to freely share their interests, or talk about topics they care about, without the expectation of "fitting in" to neurotypical expectations of quality and content.

Our aim is to reduce ostracisation and "other-ing" of those with disability by giving people a non-judgemental and welcoming space to share their work. 

We specifically want this platform to be one where our contributors can express themselves without the implication of "pity" from neurotypicals. Contributors are therefore not required to talk about their disability, nor disclose its nature to anyone. 

We accept every manner of contribution, and posts can be on any topic of interest to the contributor. We  are happy to share art, music, poetry, essays, and anything else that is possible to share on a digital platform. This allows our contributors to express themselves in ways they find comfortable, and does not require they have a single skill or ability for their work to be featured.

Print.Able is for neurodiverse voices to be shared without it being specially catered to neurotypicals. Nor is it a space for neurotypicals to take pity on or pathologise the disabilities people live with.

We aim to be an open, friendly, and non-judgemental space for neurodiverse individuals to communicate with the world. In this way, we hope to provide a platform for self-expression for those who cannot easily have their voices heard otherwise.
