Books I Recommend

These are books I return to, recommend to clients, or believe offer a helpful perspective. Some explain neurodiversity. Others provide practical strategies for executive functioning, relationships, parenting, career development, and personal growth. You do not need to read them all. Start with the one that feels most relevant to where you are today.
