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.)

  • I’ve just started reading this one so I cannot give a full opinion on it yet but the title caught my eye. He’s a comedian who was late diagnosed and wasn’t aware till a member of his audience pointed it out during a show that he’s autistic. This lead him down a path of doubt, self discovery and eventually realisation.

    I enjoyed that book. Novellie provides a good basic grounding in Autism as well as telling his personal story. I didn't relate strongly to standing in front of crowds for a living, or having a major problem with chewing noises, or being quite sociable and outgoing, but there was still plenty of overlap with my own experiences.
