Books with neurodivergent MCs across various genres so you can find them in your favorite one.

Neurodivergent rep here includes autism, adhd, ocd or dyslexia. In addition the term neurodivergent also includes anyone who’s neurological processing works in a way that isn’t considered typical; such as various personality disorders, other sensory issues and depending on who you ask also depression, ptsd, and more. I’ve included all here when I find them.

Lots of women, sapphic romance, and cozy reads - but not all!

This list is full of women who solve problems, break rules, run experiments, ask inconvenient questions, and generally refuse to stay in the lanes they were assigned. Fiction and non-fiction, from romance to history. Welcome to the nerdy, brilliant chaos.

From the game. Because I can't be the only one using it as an excuse to add to my tbr

My favourite fiction books with officially autistic and/or ADHD, or autistic and/or ADHD coded characters. Will only put first books for a series. Will add YA if I feel it's enjoyable for adults who don't read much or any YA. "Non official" neurodivergence means we are interpreting, which is always subjective. Criticism can be left in the comments. If you want to recommend a book, you're also welcome to do so in a comment. I will update this list as more favourites come up :)
