Celebrating writing from members of the BTS programmeAnthologies of Autistic Writers
Written by Beyond the Spectrum Members
Thinking of joining Beyond The Spectrum? Want to know what our writers get up to? What kind of writing they produce in workshops? And get a feel for what sessions might be like?
Our anthologies are a great way to get some insight into what Beyond The Spectrum is all about! Since Beyond The Spectrum began in 2020, we’ve often finished each year-long programme by putting together anthologies of writing from members to celebrate and showcase their writing ability and the benefits of the programme.
Not all of the writing shown is about being Autistic – although the pieces that are, offer a valuable perspective into each writer’s unique experience. Have a read of the anthologies below and find out what Beyond The Spectrum is all about!
