Books on autism and adhd.

I am looking for books on autism or adhd.

Here are some that I have found for adhd: I haven't read them yet but I am planning on doing it.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADHD-2-0-Essential-Strategies-Distraction-ebook/dp/B0C5HJ3KJ7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=AXPNRMTBS7M&keywords=hallowell&qid=1700838419&s=books&sprefix=hallowell%2Cstripbooks%2C74&sr=1-1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-ADHD-Insiders-Working-Against-ebook/dp/B0CDMV8ZVW/ref=sr_1_1?crid=EPIQTNX39834&keywords=how+to+adhd&qid=1700839169&s=books&sprefix=how+to+adhd%2Cstripbooks%2C72&sr=1-1

I don't know of any useful books for actually managing autism. There are a lot on life experiences but I want books that have actually strategies to work with the way my mind works and figure out what I am good at. I know temple grandin has a few of these and I need to read more of her books.

    I honestly wouldn't read any book about autism that isn't new this year or isn't written by an actually autistic person. 

    A lot of NT's and so called "experts" still base their info from out of date garbage they heard in the 70s-90s or worse from what they were told by by others who got their knowledge from the 70s-90s. There's the danger of relying of "authority" too, doesn't matter if someone has a PHD, if what they have to say about autistm isn't based on current knowledge in the last 5 years at the oldest, then what they have to say is not helpful.
