    I've read a fair few of these, but have gone down your list and found a few more to add to my wish list. :-)

    Hi Dawn. That’s great! There are so many autistic authored memoirs to choose from that my reading list keeps getting longer! What titles have you added to your wish list?

    You are very welcome! I aim to engage in as much autistic led content as possible, to understand the diversity of our community!

    bios of other autistic people - both the ordinary folk like us and the famous brave enough to go public.

    My bookshelf is full of these, I am sure yours is too!

  • Thank you for this.  I have a bit of an obsession with the bios of other autistic people - both the ordinary folk like us and the famous brave enough to go public.  I've read a fair few of these, but have gone down your list and found a few more to add to my wish list. :-)

    You do always come up with the interesting stuff...much appreciated

    Congratulations! What an achievement!

  • I have just finished my memoir after two years and will be having a book launch early next year.  It is about me living with Autism, Dyslexia, and growing up in a Dysfunctional household.
