Recs if you like The Lost Girls of Autism: How Science Failed Autistic Women and the New Research that's Changing the Story...

books to help understand a new autism or ADHD diagnosis (or both!)

this list is a combination of both fiction and non-fiction books, with real world memoirs and guides written by medical professionals or neurodivergent authors! open to suggestions

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!

Books that specifically focus on the intersection between being LGBTQ and disabled. Contains some books looking at ways to feel like a sexual person when disabled.

Feminist books that influenced my way of thinking and interacting with people in one way or the other Always open for new recommendations

since it's women's history month here is my ever growing TBR and admiration for women who have come before me. You are invaluable and inspiring to say the least ♡

Memoirs, psychology texts, reference papers, workbooks and novels... if those things are a primary focus of the text, it's going here.

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!

Green flag? Beige flag? Red flag? Depends on the clinician.
