If I missed any LET ME KNOW!

Fiction and non-fiction in which a main character, prominent supporting character, or narrator is canonically/confirmed to be on the asexual (ace) spectrum.

📓Canon: Confirmed by either the text or original creator. (Subtextual/implied and circumstantial characters can be found on my other ace list)

❕Disclaimer: I have not read all these books. Please feel free to correct me in the comments if I have made a mistake in my research. Or if you have any new titles to recommend.

M/M hurt/comfort books - ones I’ve read plus ones recommended to me in the r/MM_RomanceBooks subreddit. Most of these have pretty intense hurt because that’s my jam

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.

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

Love our Ace Kings and Queens.

Books included where asexuality is explicitly named and identified AND books where asexual traits are displayed and heavily implied.

Slowly adding to this over time because there are A LOT of ace books given that it's a spectrum.

Feel free to add a comment dropping your suggested additions.
