Beginner’s Guide to Memoirs
Memoirs are unique because they provide a peek into someone’s life in a personal and profound way. I love learning about people’s life experiences, in both the ways they are different from and similar to mine.

Nonfiction About Autism
Here are a few books that I hope will serve as both windows and mirrors for all who read them, just as they have for me. Most of the authors are themselves Autistic.
Autistic Fiction by Autistic Authors
This is by no means a comprehensive list. And that, dear reader, is a very big deal. In scarcely a decade, we have gone from almost no fiction by openly Autistic authors being published to having an embarrassment of riches.
This list is something of a sample platter. I have tried to represent a variety of genres. I have tried to show some of the extraordinary diversity of autism and the ways Autistic and LGBTQ identities so often overlap. Some of the books here feature Autistic characters and the issues specific to them, some have characters who “read” as Autistic even if the term is never used, and some do none of that. The only criteria are that these are works of fiction intended for adults, written by authors who have publicly identified themselves as being Autistic.
