Neurodiversity & Autism Book Lists for Parents & Kids

Book lists for parents and kids about autism, neurodiversity, hyperlexia, sensory processing, anxiety, and other related topics.

It's no secret that I love to read. If you follow me on Instagram, then you already know that. (Psst...I share mini reviews of all books I finish to my Instagram stories and save them to yearly highlights on my profile. So if that's something that interests you, be sure to connect with me there. I also sometimes discuss quotes from books on Threads.)

Naturally, some topics that I love to read about a lot are autism and neurodiversity.

And sometimes I like to compile these read books into handy dandy book lists, like the ones below. (Admittedly, I'm not great at updating those book lists nor am I great at adding new favorites as I discover them - seriously, watching my Instagram stories is the way to go!)

If you like to read too and you'd like to learn more about autism, hyperlexia, neurodiversity, or parenting related topics, then these book lists are for you!

You'll find some book lists that are geared towards kids below as well.
