Books about autism?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi

I know there is a massive amount of books out there about autism, but really, it's still a jungle. My son recently got his diagnosis and since I've been trying to find books to help me understand. My son is in the lighter(?) end of the spectrum and much of the topics in the books doesnt relate much to my son.

So if anyone has any suggestions on books that could be good for us, it would be greatly appriciated.

I recommend "Understanding Autism for Dummies" as a good place to start. It's a surprisingly good book - written by someone with autism, with input from Temple Grandin.
