You continue to WOW me. It's incredible that they're able to write (many of them, such as Octavia Butler,) quite profusely. What an inspiration! I don't know how they do it.:)

You may be interested in this list. It's more comprehensive than Goodreads can manage: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Thanks for the link Aubrey; I've added the book I'm reading at the moment if that's ok
Thanks for this list! I've added a book by Traci Harding - I chose her most recent stand alone one but she's got a number of trilogies.Here's a link to an interview where she mentioned dyslexia: Traci Harding - interview
I'm unsure about John Irving - his book A Prayer for Owen Meany is currently on the list. He's not on the spreadsheet and I can't find anything relevant after a (brief) search. I wonder if it's been added because a character in the book is disabled rather than the author?
QDA: A Queer Disability Anthology is on this list twice.

I added books by:Leigh Bardugo - Osteonecrosis
Lizzie Huxley-Jones - Autism, Non-Epileptic Seizures, EDS, Endometriosis
Elle McNicoll - Autism, Dyspraxia
Xiran Jay Zhao - ADHD
