I also have some books to recommend for this section, if this is alright.
1 - Pucking Wild (Jacksonville Rays series) by Emily Rath - MMC has Dyslexia. It is relevant to the story
2 - Why does everybody hate me? (Living and living with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) by Alex Partridge - As someone that lives with this as a symptom of my ADHD, I found this book very useful. (The author has ADHD)
3 - Queer as Folklore ( The hidden Queer History of Myths and Monsters) by Sacha Coward - the book is non fiction and is not about the subject of Neurodiversity. However, the author has ADHD and is vocal about it.
