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?

  • This is a marvelous undertaking and sound very useful cataloguing. 

    Sleep would definitely be up there for me as being a huge issue. (Especially if there is anything on how to sleep longer, as it can be hard to find help if you can get to sleep but can't sleep longer than a few hours).

    How to reduce/cope with anxiety levels. 

    Navigating telling people -family/friends/work about your autism. (Some good suggestions for building scripts to counter/inform when you don't get the reaction you were hoping for?)

    If any books have sections on understanding of women's issues, such as menstruation and menopause would also be appreciated.

    Good idea Cinnabarwing, extreme PMS too. I wonder if there is anything published and well researched on these things, I wonder if menopause is covered at all?

    I found only one specifically on the subject although it is likely to be covered in some of the other women targetted books too:

    Autism research is all about the blokes and the kids. Autistic women breaking the silence on menopause - Moseley, Rachel L_; Druce, Tanya; Turnerâ__Cobb, Julie M_ -- British Journal of Health 12477

    It is more of a scholarly article on the subject at only 18 pages long.
