Books about Autism

[ZebraAutismo]

What books about Autism do people like. I’m a big fan Of Curious Incident of the Dog in the Time but I know a lot of people don’t like this one. For my family this was great boo to read just after I was diagnosed. Mockingbird is also good but hasn’t aged particularly well (talks about spectrum as line, functioning labels, repressing Stims, aspergaus) but Ido think the books pretty accurate to my experience of being 10 and autistic. How to fly with broken with wings is good but does use the term aspergaus.

none fiction wise I really liked How to Be Autistic. Great to see some female representions and Thinking in Numbers.

I don’t remember very much about To Kill a Mockingbird, but several adults when I was growing up said that I reminded them of Scout

I liked The Rosie Project and it's 2 sequels by Graham Simsion. It's fun and in some ways quite true to elements of being ASD1.

Nonfiction I have had some good reads from the Jessica Kingsley publishers catalogue, especially by and/or about women on the spectrum.

I have found Cynthia Kim a good writer. Her book, "Nerdy, Shy and Socially inappropriate" very readable and informative.

It’s an okay book. I would guess Scout is autistic before their was a name for it

Aspergers?Asparagus?

Aspergers. Always ended up spelling aspergaus wrong. It’s why we had the “asparagus club” at secondary school
