I am a librarian at heart, so in an effort to aid others, I am curating a list of books for people on the autism spectrum.
If you, like me, learned in adulthood that you are on the autism spectrum, I wish you success in your voyage of self-discovery. I offer this list and other blog entries as resources. Among writings on this blog, which are labeled according to the Dewey Decimal System, I recommend the following subjects:
- 362.40-People with Disabilities
- 323.30-People with Disabilities--Civil Rights
- 616.898-Autism
- 658.30087-People with Disabilities--Employment
I am syndicating my blog with the MailChimp email marketing service.
Recipients will receive an email only when new content is posted to my blog.
The links below have been tested and verified as of July 2023.
At lifeonthespectrum.net, Leigh Forbes has compiled several online tests for determining the likelihood that a person has Asperger’s syndrome. They provide informative resources.
“Welcome to the Autistic Community,” released in January 2014 by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), is available from the ASAN website. Available at reading levels suitable for adolescents and adults, the document “introduces newly-diagnosed Autistic people to the community and answers common questions they might have, covering topics such as legal rights and identity.” An animated version is also available.
From the Job Accommodation Network, Accommodation Ideas for Autism Spectrum Disorder
“Relationships and Sexuality,” created jointly by Autism Now and ASAN, addresses issues related to consent, abuse, moving in with a partner, gender identity and more.
At her professional website, Neurodivergent Insights, Dr. Megan Anna Neff has compiled statistics from several studies related to Autism and Sexual Diversity.
