Disability & Neurodivergency stories are rare in apocalypse & zombies books. I've found as many as I could!
As always, suggestions incredibly welcome! I'd love to round this one out!
Not intended as a list of good neurodivergent & dis rep (thou many of them absolutely are - lots are even written by disabled/ND authors! I just haven't read them all, so can't recommend every book on this list), but disabled or neurodivergent characters feature heavily in these stories of survival

I don't want to be annoying and suggest the same book again, but if we survive this by Racquel marie would also fit this list. The main character has ocd and her learning to manage and cope with it is definitely a big part of her character throughout the story!
Absolutely nothing annoying about it - I have quite a few books on multiple of these lists, and I LOVE a book with layered diversity!! Thank you!
I literally love all of your lists! They're so good!!
Ohhhh thank you so much!! 🥰
I would recommend Climate of Chaos by Cassandra Newbould! Great list!
Oooooh that looks really interesting! Thank you so much!! Adding it now!
