Recs if you like Forget Me Not...

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.

books written by disabled authors

Mostly fiction books with disability and invisible disability representation also including mental health disorders. Not all of the characters in these books are confirmed disabled but heavily implied. Many of the authors here also have disabilities.

All of the books in this list were either read when I was a kid, or gave that comforting nostalgic feeling when reading it as an adult.

Aren’t you glad that we’re never too old for a whimsical read?
