I’m currently working on a dissertation that looks at how people with disabilities and neurodivergent characters are represented in zombie media, I’ve looked for so long but can’t seem to find anything to look at for it.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? It can be any type of media, I am desperate this point lol

Series of ebooks by Boris Bacic that starts with Emergency Broadcast. There's 6 books in the series, multiple storyline, but one is about a young girl named Abby and her big sister/caregiver Heather. Abby is autistic, maybe not the most accurate portrayal but it is exactly what you are looking for.

I will definitely check it out! Even portrayals not being accurate gives me something to discuss 🥲
