Favourite / Reading of Books about Autism

mrs.snooks

Hi. So I tried the search for this topic, so I could add to the thread, but could only get subject headers from over 1 year ago. Help me out anyone that understands the search function better than me.

I am really enjoying my latest read: 

Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian's Guide to Autism by Pierre Novellie (Author)  

I've only just started it, but think he is great. Has anyone else read it?
What have others read/are reading?

  • I haven’t read it but it is on my list.

    I’ve also read a couple of books by Luke Beardon - “Avoiding Anxiety in Autistic Adults” and “What Works for Autistic Adults”. Both were informative with a themes around what non autistic family members or work colleagues could do to make the world better suited to  autistic people. 

    The most useful book I have read so far is “Spectrum Women: Walking to the Best of Autism” Barb Cook, Michelle Garnett et al. It is particularly useful because it gives two perspectives on each issue, right through the book. The autism clinic where I had my assessment recommended it.
