Complex PTSD: From Suriving to Thriving
This book put me on the path towards healing. Written in the early 90s, the author gets a few things wrong about neurodiversity (no, ADHD is NOT a trauma response, though avoidant behavior can be) but offers a rich and productive model for engaging with complex PTSD. Walker’s work has helped me to heal a ton of my damage.

Humanizing the DSM Diagnosis for Autism
This was my attempt to “translate” the DSM-IV’s definition of autism into relatable human terms. If you read the diagnosis criteria and thought “that doesn’t sound like me,” then you’re not alone. Anybody would have a hard time relating to something written as a purely behavioralist description of a purely subjective experience.

Mirror Touch: Notes from a Doctor Who Feels Your Pain
It's a lovely auto-case study by an ND person seeking understanding of self and healing. He uses his medical background to inform his insights, but also draws from his childhood undiagnosed and his path to understanding his synesthesia, it's positives as well as the ways it makes him vulnerable. I wish we could all write and share such interdisciplinary case studies of our brain's with such compassion for ourselves and one another.
