Good Afternoon,

I am working on curating titles for books with neurodiverse characters. If you have any time to add book covers to the virtual bookshelves or the spreadsheet with links to digital copies, feel free to collaborate--send me an email if you want me to make you an editor.:) 

And if not, that is okay too--feel free to utilize and share the lists once they are done!

Additional resources:

Check out the tweet I posted and all the replies!--It was one of my most popular tweets ever.

Website I am using to help determine categories.
