Self help books for newly diagnosed

Hi,

Please can someone kindly recommend any type of self help books that have been written for people with ASD.

Without being rude to this website, it do not seem clear on their information pages and feels written towards people without ASD.

Is driving me up the wall that there is some much written as textbooks, for parents, and for people who do not have ASD, and nothing that people with ASD can use them selfs

I am looking for something to help with burnout, communication, social skills, and how to remain in work and cope. 

Many Thanks to you all SunglassesSunglassesSunglasses

    I've found Unmasking Autism by Devon Price to be very useful. It's about autism first and foremost, but it has some exercises in it that are really similar to some that I've done in therapy, except that they're either about being autistic or approached with the autistic brain in mind. I don't think they would be useful for things like learning communication and social skills, but they would be good for figuring out what makes you burn out quickly and why.
