How we choose
Every book and product is checked before it’s ever shared here:
- Author credibility — who wrote it, and do they know this life or this field?
- Real reviews — what actual readers say, not just the blurb.
- Community reception — how the neurodivergent community itself rates it.
- Honest fit — who it’s for and who should skip it, stated plainly.
Our language stays honest: “helped me,” “readers love it.” No cure or treatment claims, ever. Picks are added as they clear vetting — the first ones are being checked now.
