With the over saturated amount of works I have read, I have stumbled across a few that contain characters that aren't nerotypical. And a few of them are written well, but quite a bit are written poorly and inforce harmful stereotypes about that disorder.
This is to help people understand how to write characters with mental illness, from someone who studies in in their free time.
If I do get anything wrong or forget to include some things please let me know and I'll promptly fix it
Symptoms of each disorder will be listed, please do not self-diagnose from this book. If you experience these symptoms, please consult a psychiatrist as many of these conditions can be dangerous when untreated.

Loveless
Love never made sense, but it never had to either. Toby would do anything to get rid of his entirely embarrassing crush, but he isn't sure how. Attempting to find new crushes never works, especially when his best friend can see right through him. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< I'd like to preface this by stating that there will be parts that some may find triggering. There will be times where characters talk about mental health, lgbtq+ issues, and eating disorders. I'll begin each chapter with a trigger warning if need be, as well as marking the parts that may be triggering so they can be easily skipped. Take care of yourself <3 ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><Complete
Orphan X avengers wrong number
Y/n is an orphan mutant, her powers first showed When she was 2 and is now 13. She doesn't Have full control of her powers. She has powers or controlling electricity and power. Her abusive guardian and crippling mental health doesn't make it any easier to control them. what will happen when she accidentally texts an avenger thinking it was her best friend Mj? As usual I suck at descriptions- TWs -abuse -suicidal thoughts -sh and gore -foul Language Steve wouldn't approve of -Eating disorder -mention and triggers of SA -panic/anxiety attacks I DO NOT OWN MARVEL OR SNY CHARACTERS (except for Y/N and OC's) Once again this is just a story I use for coping for my dying mental health and trauma.

My Fucking Mess Of A Life
All the times I've had panic attacks, bad thoughts, etc. Basically all that shitty stuff. Warning: mentions of self harm, negative thoughts, and generally just depressing shit. Updates will happen whenever as I write when stuff happens to me because this is actually a non-fiction story. It doesn't seem like I'll be running out of things to write about any time soon though.Complete

Wrong number kid
Just a classic wrong number story ---- Y/n lives with her abusive father *cough* sperm donor *cough* and brother. She accidentally texts the Tony Stark and of course she has no idea because she is y/n after all. ---- Just saying that this is my first avengers and texting fic but I'll try my best. Also I don't own any of the avengers obviously, just y/n and her two friends from school. I only own y/n the rest don't belong to me obviously. ----- Also this might be triggering for some people so um it's up to you if you actually read it -- UNDER EDITING :))( if i get around to it)Complete

A book about Mental Illness. Includes information and a story. I suggest you read to learn more. All characters are fake and the story line is fake that I thought of out of my own mind. Please do not read if easily triggered. I am writing to inform and not to hurt others. Please do don't steal my story line.Complete
