Art and nature have not cured me
Abstract
Jess explores the intersections of neurodivergence, chronic illness, disability, trauma and creative practice. The paper calls for a shift from individual responsibility towards collective accountability and social transformation, while asserting the enduring value of creativity as a way of engaging with the world and an act of resistance.
