Books that I've found most practical: "The Highly Sensitive Person's Survival Guide: Essential
Skills for Living Well in an Overstimulating World ", and "The Natural Medicine Guide to Autism".

There's a book list on the OASIS website you may want to check out, too.

I've read a lot of stuff, but the most useful book by far is 'Asperger's Syndrome' by Tony Attwood.

The problem with most books they are for perants of children or for quacks. I have not found a book as a servival guide designed for aspies for adult aspies to read.

I've seen such books but they don't tend to be very useful to me.

They tend to assume a certain level of skill, where I keep thinking, "If I were able to implement this, I wouldn't need the book."

Or else, like Marc Segar's survival guide, it's just a list of ways to do things I have almost zero interest in doing.
