Recs if you like Mad Eden: A Novel...

in honor of disability pride month, here is a series on the colours of the flag! the fourth colour on the flag is yellow/gold, which represents the disabilities on the neurodivergent spectrum, cognitive and intellectual disabilities. examples of these are ADHD, autism, tourettes, dyspraxia, dyslexia, OCD, down syndrome, epilepsy and way more. books within this list will be fiction and non-fiction. as always, feel free to recommend books which you feel should be added to this list.

Shamelessly yoinked from a certain other reading app that shall not be named... this is a list of recently published (2025-2026) LGBTQ+ fiction across a spectrum of genres and identities!

(Disclaimer: I haven't read most of these, but so many compelling covers made me want to save them all in a list to continue referencing into the future.)
