Autistic Books & Podcasts

[Greatshield17]

Hi, I’m looking for some good books and podcasts on the Autistic Community, events and psychology and the like; can you please provide me with some good recommendations. (I know there is a sub forum on here, in regards to books, but I’m struggling with time management here and the like, so I don’t have time today at least, to look on there; sorry.)

this guy does a lot of videos on autism

.
Not a podcast or book but its something.

To be honest, I'd liked most of the books I've read, but that's likely due in part that I'm easy to please, and open to different viewpoints and perspectives.

Are there specific topics in the field that you're interested in? That might help narrowing things down.

Well, right now, I’m looking at sort of the adult guides to Autistic living; although I am also looking for books on how we function and books on the Autistic movement as well.

These three anthologies / collections together provide a pretty diverse set of viewpoints and stories.

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew...
Spectrum Women: Walking to the Beat of Autism
Knowing Why: Adult-Diagnosed Autistic People on Life and Autism

Funnily enough, I just started reading this book today. It’s excellent.

A really good podcast/episode from NPR Short Wave, Camilla Pang on Turning Fear into Light.

She also wrote An Outsider's Guide to Humans, which is now on my list to read.

Edit: Sorry, I had the link wrong at first!

I have read two books by Cynthia Kim - both were excellent.

She also has/had the blog Musing of an Aspie.
Her book, Nerdy, shy and socially inappropriate is what I am currently reading - very good.
