New additions to my library of books on autism

Iain

I've had an interesting few weeks where one of the things that happened was I have been given access by a local autism charity to a library of ebooks that include a large number on the subject of neurodiversity.

There are something like 500 books on the subject of autism alone and I'm working through them slowly trying to use labels to categorise what subjects they cover. It is a slow task as you can imagine.

I'm thinking of writing a few articles on subjects like making friends, dealing with grief, finding work, improving sleep etc by using the consensus of ideas in the relevant books and quoting sections relevant to the subject.

I'll quote the book tile / authors / year / ISBN when using any references.

I have 2 questions stemming from this:

1 - does anyone know what the rules are around pasting quotes from copyright material?

2 - what subjects do you want to see covered (if any) this way?

  • I suppose you'd quote, mark and name the source as you would in an academic essay. Use quotation marks around the piece you're quoting from, maybe inset it or use a different font if its a larger piece of text. Use the insert reference thingy on your word processor progam, that will put a small number or symbolat the end of the quote, then you go to the bottom of the page and put in your reference. IE: Miscellaneous and chat, new additions to my library of books on autism,  Iain,  ASC website 2025. Or you could do Harvard double referencing where you do all the above and put the reference in the sentence after your quote, but personally I find this clumsy and it breaks the flow of what you're writing and reading and if there are multiple quotes in a short paragraph unreadable. You don't have to give the ISBN

    As for topics, maybe something about A=typical autism symptoms? Those of us who don't have the commonest symptoms on the spectrum, like me and my technoklutzness. Or the relationship between ND and allergies? I read an article on Mumsnet years ago about how the two can go together, especially in women.
