📚☀️ Summer Reading with Heart

It’s summer reading season, and we’re diving into stories that reflect the beautifully diverse ways people think, feel, and experience the world. 🌈📖

This year, we’re making space for books by and about neurodivergent authors and characters—because representation matters.

🧠 Whether it’s fiction, memoir, graphic novels, or children’s books, we love hearing about the stories that resonate with YOU.

✨ Here are some great places to explore neurodivergent-friendly authors and books:

🔹 Neurodivergent Rebel’s Neurodiversity Book List
📖 Curated by autistic advocate Lyric Holmans, this list features books that affirm and reflect neurodivergent lives.

🔹 Autism Books by Autistic Authors Project
📖 A community-built archive of 2,000+ books by autistic authors, including fiction, memoirs, and children’s books.

🔹 Celadon Books: Neurodivergent Author Spotlight
📖 A beautifully written roundup of stories by neurodivergent authors like Helen Hoang and Esmé Weijun Wang.

☀️ Summer Is Coming — Let’s Make a Plan That Works for Every Brain in the Family 🧠💛

Summer often brings sunshine, play, and freedom — but it also brings shifts in routine, sensory intensity, and new expectations that not every nervous system welcomes in the same way.

Whether you’re a parent, a caregiver, or a neurodivergent person yourself, it’s okay to pause and plan with care.

🌼 Give plenty of notice before changes — sudden transitions are hard for many brains
🌼 Use visuals or calendars to create predictability
🌼 Notice sensory needs — summer brings heat, bright light, new clothes, sunscreen textures, loudness, and social overwhelm alongside the popsicles and pool time! It’s important to notice it all.
🌼 Check in with your body — if something doesn’t feel right, honor that, and honor other’s experiences too!
🌼 Build in recovery time — rest and regulation are not “extras” they are summer essentials!!
🌼 Include all voices in planning — whether verbal or not
🌼 Adjust as needed — what worked last week might not today, and that’s not a failure, it’s valuing the living experience of that moment.

💡If something isn’t working for you, that’s not a flaw — it’s information.
Your body and brain are always communicating. Listening is powerful.

✨Flexibility is not giving up. It’s accommodation. It’s care. It’s dignity.

This summer, build something that works for you — and for everyone you love. And if you need help-know that we all do sometimes! You know where to finds us!

At Gather and Grow, we celebrate the beautiful diversity of the human mind. Our neurodivergent affirming approach focuses on acceptance, understanding, and empowering individuals with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions.

We believe in creating supportive communities through education and understanding, promoting clear and patient communication, suggesting sensory-friendly environmental modifications, fostering empathy and acceptance, encouraging advocacy and inclusion, and challenging stigma. We strive to help everyone gather their strengths and grow to their full potential.
