8 best books about autism by Lydia Wilkens for The Independent
Quote:
As a writer with autism myself, here's my top pick of books on the topic. From memoirs to fiction, these reads were judged based on how easily understood they were by people on the autistic spectrum, as well as how knowledgeable and accepting they were of the condition, I made sure they did not include any ableist content.
Spectrum Women by various, edited by Barb Cook and Dr. Michelle Garnett, foreword by Lisa Morgan
M is for Autism by The Students Of Limpsfield Grange School and Vicky Martin
Odd Girl Out by Laura James
The Electricity Of Every Living Thing By Katherine May
Camouflage: The Hidden Lives of Autistic Women
Asperger’s Syndrome And Communication by Alis Rowe
The author also recommends “In A Different Key by John John Donvan and Caren Zucker” a history book written by NT Journalists.
