Resources Library

In this library, we’ve collated some of our most referenced resources, prioritising the inclusion of neurodiversity affirming works by neurodivergent authors.

This page is under constant development. Please let us know if there’s anything you think we need to add or remove from this page.

Some resources may include person-first language, or outdated and non-preferred terms, such as ‘aspergers’, ‘disordered’, ‘high/low functioning’ etc. Inclusion in this list doesn’t mean we agree with all the content, but that we’ve generally found them useful resources.
