WRITING
Writing is my safe space.
Words allow me to make beautiful things, express my thoughts and change the world.
I’ve spent the past fifteen years writing and performing. Trained in the Netherlands as a writer, actor, and performer, I went on to perform and teach stand-up comedy for nearly a decade. I now draw on that experience in a range of contexts, including teaching public speaking skills to autistic and neurodivergent people. My work as an autistic writer includes writing on comedy and theatre published by Fringe Review and Chortle.
My Books
Breaking the Boundaries
Breaking the Boundaries challenges the neurotypical foundations of higher education and the ways they exclude autistic students. Drawing on lived experience and work with mentees, Jorik Mol offers practical, values-driven guidance rooted in neurodiversity writing to create more inclusive and genuinely supportive environments.
Teeming
A novel set in 1930s Holland, Teeming follows Frank and Sara as they navigate love, identity, and survival in a world that has no language for who they are. Told through an explicitly autistic narrative perspective, the story sits within the tradition of neurodiversity writing, offering a distinctive way of experiencing perception, connection, and social friction. Against the quiet but mounting pressures of pre-war Europe, their lives unfold as wider historical forces begin to shape and constrain their choices.
