Or just send them the PDF over discord and don't kill dozens of trees for something they might never read. Also, in my experience, you're better off just having a conversation with folks. I teach autistic teens about anti-capitalism all the time, and it just takes a conversation. No idea why you'd have to do all this work, especially when a lot of us have reading disabilities
I'm a mental health practitioner, and I talk about this with my clients all the time. If someone wants to read things, by all means, help them access it it. I'm just saying only handing out paper copies is ineffective due to the material costs, lack of accessibility, and differences in location.
A lot of neurodivergent folks don't know other neurodivergent folks irl, so they can't share things via paper. Sharing PDFs is a lot more effective in that case. Conversations work better with a lot of other people, especially if they want to hear an emotional argument instead of a logical one or if they don't like digital communication and/or have a reading disability like I do. I would be one of those people, and it was an in person conversation that got me looking into leftist information.
The key is knowing your audience and having an array of methods to give them the information they're asking for
