Hello! My name is Bea, I'm 20 years old and self diagnosed, and also at the beginning of a formal diagnosis. I'm fairly new to the autistic community and am looking for books or any other resources (such as blogs, youtubers, podcasts, or anything really!) that anyone has found helpful :--) I'm open to all suggestions, and particularly books on autism in girls and women! Thank you and I'm proud to be here
"The autustic brain" by Temple Grandin. Temple Grandin is a really tough pathfinding autistic lady. Read anything by her.
Welcome to the forum.... Spectrum women is brilliant. Edited by Barb Cook and Dr Michelle Garnett.
These were recommended on a course I went on:
Not particularly. No one had replied before i did so i did my best to be helpful.
Is this particularly for girls or?
Cynthia Kim "Nerdy Shy and Socially inappropriate" book or website https://musingsofanaspie.com/about/
Rudy Simone "Aspergirls" book
The "Girl with Curly hair" book/website https://thegirlwiththecurlyhair.co.uk/
Also lots of FB groups if you search women autism or similar
No problem. It's good for learning social life's unwritten rules. I am due another reread of it myself.
Thanks so much!!
I like A Survival Guide For People With Aspergers Syndrome by Marc Segar. It's online. :)
