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?

    try out I am autistic by Chanelle Moriah and this is ADHD (same author) she was diagniosed at early adult hood and wanted to not just find out more about her diagnosises but also help other newly diagnosed people aswell so she created a interactive book that you can write in as you go and it explains a lot about different autism traits so it helped me understand autism and why I act the way I do due to it.
