Hello fellow autistic people! I know many of us ask this community for book recommendations about autistic experiences. so I thought I would share this very comprehensive list compiled by neurodivergent group NeuroPride Ireland:

Whatever you are looking for in relation to autistic/neurodivergent experience, you will probably find it in this list!
Enjoy your autistic literature deep dive!
I plan on reading Fern Brady's book at some point. It's had good reviews. I am also interested in Stand up comedy, so Fern's book has more than one interest point for me.
I listened to Fern’s book as an audiobook, it is very good, it’s funny and very sad at times . Another I enjoyed was Sara Gibbs book, Drama Queen. It’s so sad how many of us get treated as mentally ill before we finally realise who or what we are.
It's definitely worth a read. She's an interesting, even inspiring woman. I enjoyed her book it was a great read.
I like Fern Brady too! She appeared in an episode of the podcast 1800 Seconds on Autism that you might be interested in:
