Hey there 

I just finished a audiobook called Unmasking Autism by Devon Price. I really enjoyed it and this was my first experience of an audible. I struggle to read books as I find I read and then track back and read again, I struggle to concentrate and take it all in basically.

Is there a must read book that anyone can recommend for self discovering as a newly recognised autistic?

    So I finished Luke's book. Enjoyed it and due to my memory can't remember all of what he's said in his previous book. But I do know what you mean. The main thing I found is that I got to the end and thought, is that the end of the book as I was hoping for more. Still, I am a big Luke Beardon groupie - hands up to that. Next book (audiobook) to finish Neurotribes. Then will work through the others that I haven't read that are on this thread. xx

    Yes I completely understand what you mean, I thought the same thing. Like you, I am still a big fan of Luke Beardon’s work though. His next book will be about reasonable adjustments.

     I hope you find Neurotribes interesting. Just to let you know, given that the book covers the history of autistic people some of the content is quite upsetting.
