What books have others read on autism and/or Asperger's?

So far I have managed to read...

TONY ATTWOOD - The Complete Guide To Asperger's Syndrome
ANNA KENNEDY - Not Stupid
KENNETH HALL - Asperger's Syndrome, The Universe and Everything
JOHN ELDER ROBINSON - Look Me In The Eye

Maybe others can say what they have read too and what they recommend...

I got a Tony Attwood book ATM but I cant get into it.

I think I'm over reading therapist publications. I've only known my DX of aspergers for 8 weeks!

Only believe half of what you read........

"Only believe half of what you read"??

That's mainstream [but has substance of course]... I would just like to think [and have felt] that some writers here have striven to describe what life really is like for them and they have achieved this with some candour. I have a thirst for knowledge and feel it is good to explore. And you certainly don't have to like something to be able to learn from it.
