“The Speed of Dark” by Elizabeth Moon. I’ve only read it once because it was loaned by a friend, but I plan to buy it for myself & reread it. It’s science fiction, but written by an autism mom with an autistic protagonist & just amazing…
This is on my list, thanks!
Temple Grandin’s “Thinking in Pictures.” I read it about once a year.
Not sure what it is about the book, it just helps me keep things in perspective. (It also helps me understand my own world view just a little bit better.)
There are passages of Emergence I’ve often turned back too—the sections on the cattle facilities and the squeeze machine stay in my mind.
Hallo from Greece!
I read often a book translated in Greek that is called “THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT TIME” by Mark Haddon.
I do not know if you know this book but it is very interesting! by this book you can learn how the autistic mind works!
I like the book very much—while not everyone agrees about how Haddon portrays or represents autism, I have met more and more people who know about autism because of the book.
Angela, a question for you (I teach ancient Greek at a college in New Jersey): what is the modern Greek for “autism”?
Good morning from raining Athens!
In morden Greek autism called “ΑΥΤΙΣΜΟΣ”, “ΑUTISMOS”, which I believe is the same as in ancient Greek, they must have the same root!!!!
“Elijah’s Cup”-first parent book that talked about, just oozed really, acceptance. I got it the week it came out, no joke.
And I really liked Speed of Dark too.
And I HAD to read Ask and Tell (AAPC publishers) over and over b/c of doing page prooofs. Whee.
I feel like Im leaving people out here….
Thanks, Angela, the word doens’t exist in ancient Greek but of course AUTOS does……..
There are really too many books, Kassiane!
