Recs if you like But Everyone Feels This Way: How an Autism Diagnosis Saved My Life...

a collection of memoirs by individuals who have lived with and survived (and continue to survive) debilitating mental illnesses. these are their stories.

Different kinds of non-fiction books about gender, feminism, and related topics. People like black women or neurodivergent women are twice or more marginalised, and often it's not clear whether treatment was due to (for example) skin colour or perceived gender, so I'll add some books about other kinds of marginalisation as well. I haven't read all books (yet); if one is problematic, please tell me so in a comment!

Non-fiction for Neurodiversity

Please note I do not support the use of the puzzle piece in relation to ASD; it is included in my emoji description solely for visibility. Neurodiversity-affirming novels, memoirs, and resources – series are represented by the first book only. Recommendations appreciated in the comments!
