If you read large print or dyslexic font paperback books do you prefer this to be indicated on the cover (say on a banner at the top) to help you identify the accommodation?
I compiled a quick poll based on different perspectives I've read.

@bookstodon many months ago I received feedback that some readers disliked how I labeled my large-font edition of Late Identified #AuDHD workbook. So I could do better, I asked.
The majority that participated reported they wanted the accommodation labeled on their paperback in a visible way.
@rayckeith@bookstodon Thank you, Ray! Absolutely. I think I’ll edit my original post as I meant to use those words and instead directly transcribed my notes.
Tweet shared to the FB group Feral Neurodivergent Raging Meme Posting and now here with you. I’ve been down and this was the first thing that made me laugh today. I hope it makes you laugh too. #actuallyautistic#autism#autistic

I’m in the middle of a big move to a small rental & I almost missed Late-Identified AuDHD’s first birthday. ALMOST!
About thirty minutes to midnight I looked at my bookshelf, saw my 1st copy, remembered I forgot to do a cover reveal for the upcoming second edition, and decided to celebrate with a post and a Reese’s egg.
“The Autism Books by Autistic Authors Project is an (ongoing) attempt to catalogue all books — non-fiction and fiction — written about and related to autism by Autistic authors.”
There are over 1,000 books catalogued! Including mine and other authors I see in my #actuallyautistic feed here on Mastodon.
@benetnasch@BZBrainz@actuallyautistic@bookstodon That is super exciting! I found it while looking for more books to read about autism by autistic authors. Then I saw how this was expanded, found my own workbook under non-fiction, and thought maybe I would submit my spicy PNR books (different pen name) for their other sections. When you can, I hope to see more of your work up there! #AuDHD
I have a goal of turning every book I read this year into an earring. I got started a little late in Jan so I missed about 5 of them and have ~5 made so far. I'm not sure that I'll go back and do the ones that I missed.
My spouse delights me. I've been rumbling this week as we get ready for a move and swamped by shame for my reactions—I hate feeling out of control.
They gave me a gift. I did not respond to the gift, felt awful for not acknowledging it, and then excessively apologized.
Spouse: "I never expect you to be excited about chocolate. If it were an appropriately shaped Reese's, that would be a whole different story." #autistic#actuallyautistic#audhd#AuDHDcouple

Their comment made me feel loved and seen and brightened my evening. I have a particular way of eating certain foods and disassembling them in an order, which makes me very happy. When I struggle to be compassionate with myself or gentle with others, they still reach out to me. #audhd#actuallyautistic#autism#autistic
@actuallyautistic Someone just recommended Alexandra Streliski as accompaniment for reading and writing—Mastadon crashed before I was able to pull the artist up on Spotify. Thank you! I was not familiar with them and I have enjoyed every song I’ve played. My spouse says thank you too. 🥰
@flowerpot@actuallyautistic you’re welcome! I hope my original post finds the person who shared this artist earlier today. I like you, I was just curious and my day was so much better for it. ♥️
I binge-read The Murderbot Diaries (1-7) by @marthawells, and now there are no more out, and I'm feeling unmoored. I have a very long TBR list, but... I want more Murderbot. Difficulty with social reciprocity, comfort in rewatching favorite series, disliking eye contact or touch, and so much more. I get why reviews say this series is "one of the most human experiences you can have in sci-fi." @actuallyautistic@bookstodon
@oldmankris I also enjoyed that series, but it’s been well over a decade since I read it and I can’t recall if I completed the series. I’ll revisit it. Thank you!
