This month in honor on Autism Acceptance Month I will be reading various autistic books
My plan is to blog about the books I read each week on Fridays.
(But as you can see I am late this week)
Sensory: Life on the Spectrum: An Autistic Comics Anthology by multiple authors (Comics)
This was a wonderful collection of comics exploring the experience of those of us who are Autistic. It was a great book to start Autism Acceptance Month with. Loved hearing from so many different Autistic voices including both individuals who are self-diagnosed and formally diagnosed. If you want a great intro into the autistic experience this book is a great choice.
The Autism FAQ: Everything You Wanted to Know About Diagnosis & Autistic Life by Joe Biel and Faith G. Harper (Non Fiction)
This is a very relatable and useful tool that provided me a lot of the why behind the behaviors and thought patterns that are part of my Autism. The book was especially good because it was written in a friendly and humorous tone (while still feeling like it was written for adults) which was very useful when taking about subjects that have more emotional baggage like the high suicide rates among those of us who are autistic. I have about a dozen bookmarks to parts that I plan to go back to again because they really hit home.
