Neurodiversity Stories

Daniel has spent his life trying to understand love by reading patterns, silences, and signals everyone else seems to know instinctively. From York to Manchester to Denmark, every almost-love leaves him with another question - until an autism diagnosis helps him see that the mystery was never only other people. It was himself. Tender, quiet, and deeply human, this is a story about missed chances, late honesty, and the kind of love that does not ask you to guess.

"Poetry is the whim of the guarded soul that hides stars within itself." I hereby present a collection of poems that I will share with the seafarers of the unexplored constellations of sensibility. I will take one paddle and my reader the other; ready to sail the infinite sea of emotion. 📚This book of poetry houses a collection of poems with varied thematic content (cathartic, somber, humorous, spiritual, odes, elegies, romantic, intertextual, imitatio, haiku, etc) expressed in lyrical style. The verses, ranging from major to minor length, feature both consonant and assonant rhyme, as well as free verse. Their purpose is to convey feelings through the musicality and emotional depth of each composition. 💡Disclaimer: This is a literal translation of my Spanish anthology, so the poetic meter provided in the information section may not match the English version, but you're still welcome to enjoy it. ❤ ✍100% Human Production: No AI generators were used in either the art or the writing; unless otherwise specified, I am the artist who drew the cover and accompanying illustrations for this work.

Peridot used to belong. That is until her world was destroyed and her family are rescued by the DIRA, the Displaced Intergalactic Refugee Agency. But safety comes at a price. Along with thousands of other displaced refugees from across the galaxy, Peri is given a new body, a new name, and a home at the very last place anyone wants: Earth. Earth is strange, beautiful, and full of rules that make no sense. Humans are suspicious. Teachers are unfair. Small talk is a battlefield. The only things that feel real are her new friends, Fierce, funny and gloriously different, and the pull she feels toward the mysterious crystals hidden beneath Earth's surface. When an ancient message is discovered in a long forgotten cave, Peri learns that Earth was never safe for some kinds. As old powers awaken and secrets unravel, Peri must decide who she is, where she belongs, and whether she's brave enough to act in defense of a planet she never wanted to call home. A story about friendship, identity, prejudice, and the art of being human.

Two people fluent in logic discover that love speaks an entirely different language. Janara Reeve is an autistic technology CEO who believes every problem has a solution. August Young is the reclusive architect behind the world's most inclusive cities-a man celebrated for his work, yet almost unknown beyond it. When they're brought together to build an inclusive city, they don't fall in love through grand gestures. They fall in love through remembered coffee orders. Forgotten drafting tablets. One-word text messages. Kitchen drawers. Quiet Saturdays. And the countless, ordinary ways two people quietly make room for each other. But love isn't the difficult part. Understanding is. A quiet slow-burn romance about two extraordinary minds discovering that the strongest foundations aren't built from concrete or steel-but from patience, trust, and the choice to keep learning each other.

A place for neurodivergent people to infodump! Instructions inside!

How Are You Alive? is a nonfiction book written for readers living with depression who are exhausted by platitudes and surface-level self-help. Drawing on nearly five decades of lived experience with chronic depression, the book begins with survival, then moves into understanding how depression distorts thinking, and finally into recognizing viable treatment paths when they appear. It does not promote a single cure or philosophy, but offers practical tools, honest reflection, and real-world options without oversimplifying recovery. In the aftermath, the book treats joy and life-building not as goals to pursue, but as experiences that can become possible once depression lifts.

so i've found that most conversations surrounding agere are either shockingly neurotypical or only disabilities like did are mentioned. (which isn't a bad thing btw, sorry if i sound negative!) so, i'm gonna be using this book to talk about being autistic and a little. this includes my experience n stuff, so yea!

Lane Lesagov is just a doctor. Yeah, he's burnt out from tending to curse victims and is kind of regretting his specialization, but he isn't looking for some grand adventure. The most adventure he's willing to take on is a journey down the road to the Seventh Ward to deal with a Plaguebeast spreading a new flu. But when his Plaguemaster field team stumbles upon an arcane ritual, they're suddenly thrust into a whirlwind of adventure, curses, and the consequences of war.

Kyle is nonverbal and autistic. Amanda is from a different time. The kids have to help them.

Krel Tarron is less than enthusiastic to be stuck on a mud ball planet with an unintelligent life species known as humans. Everything about life on Earth is boring to him, and he's perfectly fine sticking to his pessimistic views despite his sister Aja's encouragement to see the planet in a better light. A work study program at school forces Krel to be under the mentorship of (Y/n) (L/n) for a week. Can his new mentor help him find a reason to give Earth a chance? Or will their mentor-apprentice relationship end in disaster with Krel so stubborn to hate his temporary home? Disclaimer: I do not own the Tales of Arcadia trilogy or its characters. I only own the plot of this story and the self-made character "Emily." Creative liberties were taken with the interior/structure of Arcadia Oaks High, and is not a canonical representation of the school's facilities.

Some relatable memes about being an Autistic person.

Melanie Marshall a.k.a. "Mel" or "Marshmellow" begins her genesis at gaining work experience starting with the place that promised her a bright future; high school. Nearly a decade of her life had laid waste despite getting a degree in Graphic Design. After getting cloistered during the pandemic and life regained a semblance of normalcy she decided to go back to high school to work as a security guard. Needless to say that there will be teenagers doing what any teenager does: mess around, binge, get in trouble, hook up, make noise-- you know the drill. How long will Marshmellow last until she's no smore?

A message to myself, and other autistics in the world. To have the courage to trust oneself!
