Your next research rabbit hole starts here

A space to lose yourself in learning about ADHD, autism, mental health and the brain-body connection. A place built for curious brains.

The library is a wiki. Curated by the Uma community. Not by algorithms that silence women's voices and shadow-ban content about women's brains and bodies.

A global stage for neurodivergent authors, clinical experts, advocates and allies. Everything worth reading. Everything worth watching. Everyone worth listening to. All in one place.

Warm fuzzies

We are a Bookshop.org and Amazon affiliate. Every purchase through the library supports our mission to close the gender gap and offer free ADHD and autism screening to every person on the planet, whatever their means.

For the love of a real book

Bookshop.org gives over 80% of their profit to independent bookshops. Buying through them helps to keep struggling bookshops open.

Bibliosmia.

[bib-lee-OZ-mee-ah] noun.

From Greek biblion (book) and osmia (smell). The love of the smell of an old book. That distinctive, beloved scent is not just imagination; it is caused by the chemical breakdown of paper, ink and glue as a book ages. For many book lovers, the smell is inseparable from the experience: a sensory cue that reading is about to begin.

Spend less time googling.
More time learning.
Search the library.

A neurodivergent woman up at 2am. Eyes wide open. 20 tabs open. 3 of them have frozen. Searching desperately for information. That's why we built the library.

Knowledge is not power.
Sharing it is power.

The Uma library is a wiki, built and maintained by the neurodivergent community. Everything in here has been chosen and reviewed by Uma community members.

You can help us keep the library up to date and growing. Add a book, podcast, video or app you love. "Info-dumping" fully welcome.

Someone hand them a mic

The library was built to be a global stage that platforms neurodivergent women and minority genders and elevates voices with lived experience.

Are you a neurodivergent author or podcast host? We want to help others hear your voice. Show your work to thousands of neurodivergent people around the world, for free.

Meet the creator

Books on Amazon don’t come with the author sitting beside you. On here, they do. Meet the creator is a new feature where Uma users can hear from the author before they buy the book. Podcast hosts can join in too.

We’re rewriting the book blurb

Uma will pair your video bio with a low spoons audio blurb. If you are a podcast host, Uma will create an audio summary for each episode, helping the Uma community to work out, is this worth pressing play on?

All you have to do is record a 3-minute video introducing yourself, your work, and why closing the gender gap matters to you.
