Intro and book recommendations

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I’m looking for book recommendations that could help me understand and support my autistic family members better. Both of my parents are autistic, and my sister is too, and I’m trying to learn healthier ways of communicating and navigating some of the challenges that come up in our relationships.

I’m also starting to wonder whether I might be on the spectrum myself. I relate to a lot of traits and experiences I’ve been reading about, so I’d love any book suggestions that could help me explore that possibility in a grounded, informed way.

If you know any books—whether practical guides, personal accounts, or science‑based explanations—that you’ve found genuinely helpful, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.

Thanks for having me here.

  • Hi,

    Dr Luke Beardon has a series of books I recommend you look at. Well written and informative. You can get them electronically or in printed format.

    He does a series aim at chidren specifically and a series that specifically refer to Adults. Dr Luke Beardon is himself Autistic, so can draw on his lived experience as well as having studied Neurotypical and Autistic experiences
