Autastic Reading Lists

Not only do we often dive deep into research when we first learn we might be autistic, who doesn’t love to read fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays, and more by people who understand the world from our perspectives? A good book is a great time and maybe, if we’re lucky, a new friend.

This resource is my curated collection of titles *and* a big ol’ ever-expanding list of works by and for autistic adults. Let’s get into it!
