It depends on what you are after. I suggest reading "Carly's Voice". I'm re-reading it at the moment. Her story is very inspirational.

Thinking in pictures by Temple Grandin is the only autism book I read mostly until the chapter about cows which was super boring and I stopped reading at that point, but it is still a pretty good book that taught me some things about how to live from her life story. After returning to library, I stopped reading autism books and went out into the world to live my life. I also skimmed some parts of one of John Robison's book, but didn't relate and didn't pick up anything useful to me, so stopped reading.

I liked Songs of a Gorilla Nation by Dawn Prince-Hughes.

I prefer reading autism blogs over autism books. They're free, and you only need a to read a bit at a time. Here's a good list.

The unexpected journey to one auti's inconceivable success; pretty interesting read.
