 "You don't need this junk. You need a cat.": Are there any good autobiographical works on autism out there?

There are lots!

I’d start with the Loud Hands: Autistic People, Speaking anthology, maybe.

After that, have you any particular areas of interest?

I like anthologies in general because they show such a wide range of experiences.

Some others:

Sharing Our Wisdom

Autism and the…

Yikes, I’d forgotten Sharing Our Wisdom. I read most of it in a huge gulp on the plane home from my first AutCom conference in 2010.

Then it vanished soon after I came home.

Three other copies have vanished too. It is a mystery.

But it is an awesome awesome awesome anthology. Must get myself another copy.

There is also “We’ve Been Here All Along,” which is an anthology of writings by autistics over 35, edited by Rachel Cohen-Rottenburg.

Oh holy crap I need to keep up with the latest stuff and I’m not.
