Neurodiverse Kidlit Collective
We lift up and support neurodivergent storytellers, making more room for authentic stories in children’s literature, to help young readers be seen and create increased empathy and understanding by neurotypical readers.

- Reposted by Neurodiverse Kidlit CollectiveIf my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

- I also should add that of course illustrators are welcome as well! (And I just illustrated what we discuss about illustrators always being forgotten!)
- Thanks to everyone who donated or bid on our auction items! We were able to donate a total of $2500 to the Highlights Foundation Neurodiverse Kidlit Scholarship! This means our scholarship is fully funded for both this year and next! But it doesn't stop here—we have plans for so much more! 💕
- The site is batching emails to winners so you may get an email that you won an item later today. You can also log in and go to "My Account" -> "My Auctions" to see which auctions you bid on and won! If it says "Pay Now" you'll know you won! 🥰 Once you've paid, give us a few days to coordinate!
