Be careful not to box yourself into a concrete search term for your topic. Think of synonyms for your subject - broader terms, related terms, and narrower terms. Using this strategy will guarantee a wider selection of materials. Be aware, too, that some search terms may be uncomfortable to think or say out loud - but could yield possible results.

Neurodiversity is a fairly recent term that encompasses a variety of differences in brain functioning. There is, however, a difference between mental disorders (e.g., bipolar) and diversity of ability/disability. Ergo, this page does not feature titles that deal with depression and anxiety. For an adequate framework, reference this article from Psychology Today. It can provide some ideas for other keywords!
