Just One Book

Damojo

Is there one book on Autism that you would recommend as a way of explaining yourself to others? You know, "Here, read this, it will help you understand what goes on in my head." (Sort of like that book on a different topic that my mum gave me when I was 12.)

    "Autism For Dummies"

    By John Marble, Khushboo Chabria and Ranga Jayaraman.

    ISBN-13 978-1394301003

    "Through respectful dialogue and shared stories, the book encourages an enlightened approach to support and acceptance and provides practical strategies for inclusion, covering tools for communities, schools, and workplaces to become more accommodating and empowering."

    (A bit confusingly: there is another similar sounding title, by the same publisher, from 2006 "Understanding Autism for Dummies" by Stephen M. Shore - which is more aimed at parents of Autistic children and carers of Autistic adults).
