There are a million books in the world written about Autistic people and most of them are absolutely awful, pathologising promoters of streotypes and tick box strategies that neither encapsulate what it is to be Autistic or provide anything but unimaginative, useless guff.

This Article links a huge list of books written by Autistic people and Autistic allies, all covering a huge range of topics from personal experiences, ways of supporting Autistic people and understanding Autism from a variety of different perspectives.

This article is being updated constantly, so please keep checking back.

There are so many support groups on Facebook that sometimes it can be difficult to figure out which ones can be useful for you to join. Whether you are an Autistic person, parent or both, there are many groups which unfortunately serve only to reinforce negative thinking and the negative narrative of Autism.  

Part of learning to be a better parent, or learning to properly understanding yourself as an Autistic person involves challenging what you think you know along with gaining a better understanding of ways to support either yourself or your child positively and proactively, so here are some groups and pages where you can do that.

Please read the descriptions carefully and, when joing a group or following a page please read the rules carefully and assess whether it's right for you.  Remember you're joing to learn and sometimes it can be hard to accept that you might be wrong, or that what you do may be inadvertently harmful.
