I am new to learning about Asperger's Syndrome and I don't really know that much about it. I am looking for books that will give me more insight on being an Aspie and what it would be like to live with an Aspie and how to understand them and such. Please let me know of any books. Thank you!


It's like not being good at answering vague questions. :P

Smarmyness aside, all those books are generally good places to start. I also recommend Aquamarine Blue 5: Personal Stories Of College Students With Autism, which is a collection of essays. I think it's a good example of Autistic people speaking for themselves, and presenting multiple individual perspectives ranging in age, gender, nationality, and expressive abilities.
