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.

Great list! If you want more recs to add, there’s these:
If you’re including schizophrenia within the umbrella of neurodiversity, then I’d also add Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
I’ve also heard that Junker Seven by Olive J Kelley, the many half-lived lives of Sam Sylvester by maya macgregor, failure to communicate by kaia sønderby, and Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore have autism/neurodiveristy rep but I haven’t read them yet

Thanks for the recs! The outside has been on my tbr for about a year now!
I’ll check these out! I’ve really only got ones I’ve read on here right now because I always get antsy including books I haven’t read yet 😅
That’s very fair! I also tend to be reluctant to add books I haven’t read to lists etc I’ve created I hope you enjoy The Outside if/when you end up reading it! It’s one of my favourite series
Thanks! I’ve got an unkindness of ghosts on there too and I’ll definitely look into more of these!
