Recs if you like Tilly in Technicolor...

a collection of autistic coded characters in fiction [ recommendations welcome! ]

Romance novels and stories with substantial romantic subplots where at least one lead is explicitly neurodivergent. Every title is either own voices, has a character whose neurodivergence is confirmed within the text or by the author. This collection celebrates love across the full spectrum of neurological diversity, including Autism, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's, Hoarding Disorder, PTSD, and more. Recommendations are always welcome!

Middle grade, YA and Adult fictional books with canon autistic main characters

Fiction reads featuring characters with disabilities, physical and/or mental health both included.

Recommendations welcome!

YA books written by autistic authors that include autistic characters, usually as the protagonists of the story. You know they'll get the representation right!

queer fiction books with prominent autistic characters!!!! (all cannon, in text, or confirmed by author)

Romance books with neurodivergent characters. This primarily includes ADHD and autism but I also included some with dyslexia and sensory processing disorder representation as well.

fiction books with disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and mental illness representation (usually written by Own Voices authors).

I’ve combined these categories because I’ve found they have impacted my life in similar ways and a lot of books include overlap 💗

Featuring a range of subgenres within romance, these stories feature MCs with disabilities. I would love more recommendations to add to the list!

They ain't diagnosed but we're pretty sure. Btw, some of these books look YA but they're not.

Mostly children, middle grade, and ya books with autism representation. Strongly featuring autistic characters that aren’t only young white boys. It’s also strongly concentrated on own voices works, as much as possible, although that’s private information if the authors do not choose want to share publicly.

YA fiction books with prominent autistic characters!!!! (all cannon, in text, or confirmed by author)

Books with disability rep or written by disabled authors. I love the growing appreciation for rep in books and these are the ones I've found so far. Some I've read some are on my tbr so if you have any recs to add, feel free, and if any are abelist or harmful in any way please let me know!

Books that I feel have characters or themes that represent aspects of neurodiversity. (Be warned, some of these are very spicy as well as neurospicy🌶️)

In progress - suggestions welcome in comments

YA contemporary books with neurodivergent MCs

(So far, we've got autism, ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia)

YA books featuring characters with diverse backgrounds / sexualities / gender identities / ethnicities / religions / disabilities / neurodiversities

Autism is a spectrum. So we need more Books to show how divers that spectrum is. Without Masking and with a lot of Acceptance. Because it’s the system that needs to be fixed. Not the Person 💗

YA books featuring Autistic characters and written by Autistic authors.
