Hello, everyone! The world is amazingly, beautifully diverse. As a writer who is in awe of this rainbow of human experience, I often find myself writing from perspectives/identities I don’t share. Of course, I could never capture the experience as fully as someone who does share those identities, and so I invite you to check out the following books! As this list is constantly growing, I can’t say I’ve read all of the books on here, but they’re all on my to-read list!
Books by Autistic Authors/Authors with Autism*
YA: Queens of Geek – Jen Wilde
MG: Rogue – Lyn Miller-Lachmann
