Does just simply reading books on Autism help you to understand loved ones and friends who are Autistic?
Yes. Learning about autistic lived experience from autistic people is the best way to learn. You can learn about the intersectionality and diversity within our community by learning about Black, LGBTQIA+, physically disabled autistics and especially overlooked people in our community including non speaking and apraxic autistics.
You could simply just ask your friend about their autistic experience!
Aucademy is also a great autistic led education platform:
