N AOMI HAD ALWAYS hated school, so much so that she cried for hours when school breaks ended. She hadn't always considered herself disabled, though. Sure, she'd felt lucky to have discovered her autism and learning disabilities relatively early-and to have started getting accommodations in junior high-given that most autistic women aren't diagnosed until adulthood, if at all. But until her second semester of university, Naomi hadn't realized how much autism impacted her life. Then, just before semester's end, COVID-19 crashed in.

Storytelling is shaped by the way we engage with it. In the past, narratives unfolded slowly, giving the audience time to reflect and analyze at their own pace. Classic games, podcasts, and films provided the audience with time to settle into the narrative, and for emotions to build up gradually. These slower forms of media created room for reflection and engagement, allowing audiences to process narratives thoughtfully.
