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?

  • Just skim read: In a Different Key. by John Donvan and Caren Zucker

    I was mainly interested in the story in modern history. It is not an easy read, but interesting none the less. And certainly challenges the delicate hold I have on viewing my autism as a difference and not a defect. But sometimes I feel I need to face this.

    Anyone else read this? I'd be interested in thoughts.

  • I've read On a Different Key by John Donvan and Caren Zucker. I like it! It goes into quite a lot of detail regarding autism's story and where it found itself in different historical contexts. Very interesting read.
