Good non-fiction books, documentaries, podcasts about autism
Hi all,
I'm helping develop a website for my clients' Diversity and Inclusion program, which has a lot of info about different minorities and encourages people to accept and welcome people from different backgrounds. I'd like to suggest some non-fiction books, documentaries, YouTube videos, podcasts, etc. about the autism spectrum, especially autistic adults. I've thought up a couple of suggestions:
* NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman
* The Autistic Brain by Temple Grandin
Can you suggest any others?

The only book I've been able to relate to is Asperger's From the Inside Out: A Supportive and Practical Guide for Anyone with Asperger's Syndrome by Michael John Carley.
Couldn't manage to get thru any others I've seen recommended (eta:) above or on other lists.
These is British documentary and kind of a general introduction and focuses on adults:
The BBC has a lot of good podcasts, but they are taken down and put back up from time to time.
Here is a link to the Chris Packham documentary about his life with autism: https://vimeo.com/252876361
