My local Autism center has a small lending library and they're always looking for donations.

What ASD books would you recommend I look for at the used book stores?

I'm not sure if you'd find it at a used book store since it's still pretty new, but I really enjoyed Neurotribes.

The Autistic Brain: Helping Different Kinds of Minds Succeed by Temple Grandin. I'm currently 110 pages in, and it's a pleasure to read. It includes images of brain scans.

Neurotribes, definitely. There may be used copies for sale on Amazon?
