Hi, can anyone recommend any books, podcasts etc... about adult autism? Any about woman and masking? I'm just looking to try and gain a better understanding of myself.
For books: My current go-to books are
Been there, done that, try this (Tony Attwood et al)
https://uk.jkp.com/products/been-there-done-that-try-this
(really like this one, short chapters, autobiographical info and psychologist insights)
And The unwritten rules of social relationships (Temple Grandin / Sean Barron)
Book review @ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7672013/ available from Book Depository https://www.bookdepository.com/Unwritten-Rules-Social-Relationships-Temple-Grandin/9781941765388 (probably the other place too but Jeff Bezo's gets enough publicity as it is).
Jessica Kingsley publishers specialises in autism books so there may be something there that fits the bill https://uk.jkp.com/

Cheers for those recommendations, I'll look into them. I'm burning through autism books like it's my new special interest!
I like Aspergirls best so far for understanding myself, even though I'm an asperboy. I also found All Cats Have Autism, and Inside Autism Looking Out both good for relating to my childhood experience and traumas.
There's been some good resources shared in posts on masking these past months, inc blogs and youtubes. Use the search tool to have a browse through them.
I try to avoid Amazon too Ethan, it's hard though, esp as they buy up competitors. Bookdepository got bought up a good ten years ago:(
