Are we talking factual books about autism or just books that autism is a topic in so might be fictional books with autistic characters?

Hi. I'd be really interested in knowing about fiction books too. It's been an age since I read fiction as it tends to overwelm me. But definitely do post. 

Thanks. I don't often read non fiction and most of my autism reading is done on the internet. The few that I have read tended to have outdated information so I got annoyed with them. I did enjoy the reason I jump and the boy made out of blocks though. 1 from an autistic persons pov and the other the father of an autistic child. I think there was another book by a parent that I also enjoyed but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. One of those 2 books featured a non verbal child but who could sing. He would sing happy birthday if there was fire around.

Fiction wise there's quite a few I've enjoyed. There is a series about a girl with PDA (co-written by a child with PDA). I think the first book is called now you see me. Another autistic author Elle McNicoll writes various books with neurodivergent characters. A kind of spark is my favourite. I also enjoyed the Rosie Project series even though it does have a stereotypical genius character. It is very entertaining. I loved a curious incident of a dog in the night time. A similar but less well known book is the colours of bee Larkham's murder. I found this is a fascinating presentation of autism. I personally also enjoyed Jodi Picoults House Rules. I know some people disliked it because the mum has him on a special diet but for me that is just a character representing people that certainly exist and not necessarily the author advocating for these diets. Think that's all of them.
