(She/her) 2025
I am a passionate writer, researcher, and advocate for neurodivergence, disability justice, and representation. With years of experience in fiction ghost writing, I specialize in crafting narratives that explore mental health, identity, and societal challenges.
Currently, I am working on a novel, Diary of Maladaptive Daydreamers, which follows a Pakistani Muslim orphan with OCD, anxiety, and Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD), and an orphaned boy with short-term memory loss and MD. The novel delves into bias, inequality, and the foster care system, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by neurodivergent individuals. Despite their struggles, the protagonists support each other in overcoming their disabilities, pursuing futures as a researcher and a writer. Through this story, I aim to challenge societal norms, foster empathy, and advocate for greater inclusion of neurodivergent individuals in literature and beyond.
Apart from this, I am conducting a case study on Maladaptive Daydreaming that I aim to officially publish with the American Psychological Association (APA), focusing on its intersection with mental health, trauma, and creativity. My research aims to deepen understanding of this underexplored condition and contribute to academic discussions on neurodivergence..
Beyond fiction writing, I am actively involved in disability advocacy, storytelling, and research. As a member of the Disabled Leaders Network (DLN), I look forward to collaborating with like-minded individuals, raising awareness, and contributing to important discussions on accessibility, mental health, and the power of storytelling as a tool for advocacy.
My long-term goal is to pursue advanced studies in Creative Writing and continue research on neurodivergence and storytelling at a globally recognized institution. I am eager to connect with fellow advocates, researchers, and writers to create meaningful change in the way neurodivergent individuals are understood and represented in society.
