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.)
This book was particularly recommended for me, out of an extensive book list, by the autism clinic following my assessment. I have read other books since then, but this book remains the most helpful.
Spectrum Women was published in Britain but the authors live in Australia. The contributors come from GB, Canada, US, N. Ireland, Scotland and Germany.
Books are so expensive now but if you do manage to download a sample of Spectrum Women, and you decide to buy and download the whole book, but find you don’t like it, Amazon will let you return it if you are signed up to Prime.
I have recently read this book. I think Tony Atwood is English but living in the US, and although the book refers to the ICD briefly, it mostly deals with the DSM. I have noticed that the editors/authors of books about autism are increasingly collaborating with autistic people in the writing of the books, such as this one and Spectrum Women.
It was interesting in that it deals with the latest data on autistic women, including masking.
