John Eldar Robison’s books have helped me a lot.

Look Me In The Eye, and later Be Different, by John Elder Robison, were both very illuminating for me.

“Since starting That Au-Some Book Club in 2019, our group has grown to over 10,000 members and has released several recommendation lists.

Our book lists are crowd-sourced by members of the book club, and Autistic opinions are prioritized in our decision making process.

While we have yet to find a perfect book on autism, all of the books we recommend have been discussed and chosen with care.”

@Autistrain @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity In German you might like the comic books from @Fuchskind – „Autistic Hero Girl“ (there are three of them). Makes one feel seen. Or do you mean scientific stuff?

@atarifrosch @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity @Fuchskind Thank you! I'm searching for scientific books as well as non-scientific ones. I look for a broad coverage of what is out there in English, German, and French.

@Autistrain @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity May I suggest the first book in the Neurodivergent Voices series: Grief Volume 1. This is an excellent volume of dealing with the many ways grief shows up in our lives.

Available in print and ebook from most retailers:

(Also gentle self promotion that Epona Muse Publishing is looking for essays on many of our "open until filled" anthologies. (https://publishing.eponaauthorsolutions.com)

@Autistrain @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity “Neurotribes” by Steve Silberman is good, maybe a little dated. “Loud Hands” is amazing. I’m still working my way through “Neuroqueer Heresies” but it’s pretty good so far

@Autistrain @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity Wow! I loved it, too, but that has to be pretty special
