Drawing on my lived experience of neurodivergent time perceptions, this practice-based research will explore how contemporary artists use non-linear temporalities and rudimentary technologies to create science-fictive imaginings of speculative worlds. My project thus asks: what forms of art practice are needed to articulate and embody neurodivergent experiences as a way of world-making?Living with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD) and Dyspraxia motivates my disability- or 'crip'-informed thinking, which, alongside involvement in DIY subcultures promoting mutual aid, informs the science-fictive worldmaking in my sculptural work. I embrace non-linear temporalities as survival tools in adapting to a neurotypical world. Here, art practice depicts other potential worlds through improvised or re-imagined technologies. 'Chronesthesia' is a common experience for trauma survivors, described by Tulving (2002) as 'mental time travel'. ADHD often lends me the perception of non-unitary temporality (perceiving oneself in more than one place or time), a lived experience yet to be fully described in science-fictive terms. This will be a key focus of my research. Through involvement in autonomous punk and DIY initiatives, I have witnessed survival through collective effort and purpose, most obviously when participants represent marginalised communities who cannot find mainstream support. Modernity's requirement for linear time and progress, and prevalent notions of societal advance through expected milestones, are problematized by divergent lives and non-normative temporal perceptions, such as 'crip time' (Kafer, 2013) or 'queer time' (Halberstam, 2005).I will produce a body of artistic practice and peer research, integrated with creative contextual writing, examining how my neurodivergent life experiences and those of others intersect with post-apocalyptic motifs of technological anachronism and temporal looping. I will utilise these motifs as productive grounds for thought experiments in my own works, employing knowledge of DIY and self-organisation alongside the objects, customs and folk beliefs of social science fiction

根据我对神经发散时间知觉的亲身经历，这项以实践为基础的研究将探索当代艺术家如何使用非线性时态和基本技术来创造对思辨世界的科学虚构想象。因此，我的项目提出了一个问题：作为创造世界的一种方式，需要什么形式的艺术实践来表达和体现不同的神经体验？与注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)、复杂的创伤后应激障碍(CPTSD)和行动不便的生活在一起，激发了我的残疾--或称CRIP--知情思维，这与参与到倡导互助的DIY亚文化中一样，启发了我雕塑作品中科学虚构的世界创造。我把非线性时间作为适应神经典型世界的生存工具。在这里，艺术实践通过即兴或重新想象的技术描绘了其他潜在的世界。“时间感觉”是创伤幸存者的一种常见体验，图尔文(2002)将其描述为“心理时间旅行”。ADHD经常让我感受到非单一的时间性(在不止一个地方或时间感知自己)，一种尚未用科学虚构的术语完全描述的生活体验。这将是我研究的重点。通过参与自主朋克和DIY倡议，我见证了通过集体努力和目标生存，最明显的是，当参与者代表无法找到主流支持的边缘化社区时。现代性对线性时间和进步的要求，以及通过预期里程碑实现社会进步的流行观念，都被不同的生活和非规范的时间观念所困扰，例如“关键时间”(Kafer，2013)或“酷儿时间”(Halberstam，2005)。我将产生一系列艺术实践和同行研究，与创造性的语境写作相结合，研究我和其他人神经上不同的生活经历如何与世界末日后的技术落伍和时间循环主题相交。我将利用这些主题作为我自己作品中富有成效的思维实验的基础，利用DIY和自我组织的知识，以及社会科幻小说的对象、习俗和民间信仰
