Helllo, I was just wondering about any good free courses; reading material or good related TV programmes on Aiutsm, which any of you would recommend for my professional development please.

Not free, but I have some reading material:
”NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity” by Steve Silberman.
A great overall history on Autism, though it is a little outdated with what we know about Dr. Hans Aspergers now. He wasn’t quite the saint that he’s portrayed in the book, though he is (regrettably) still a very important figure in the history of Autism.
”Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price, PhD
Excellent read for Autistic people who realize they are Autistic late in life. Devon Price is a trans Autistic man, so he has a wonderfully diverse view on the spectrum.
”Self-Care for Autistic People” by Dr. Megan Anna Neff
Also written by an “AuDHD” doctor. This is one of my favorite overall books because it is written in a way that is so easy to digest if you’re neurodivergent.
”We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation” by Eric Garcia
Written by an Autistic political journalist. Really more impactful if you’re American since a lot of what he discusses is USA’s policies on Autism, but he gives a very unique perspective on the legal and cultural battles Autistic people fight on a day to day basis.
Those are the four cornerstones of my library right now.
For something a bit lighter, you could try Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things? A Comedian’s Guide to Autism by Pierre Novellie.
