Bookmarked One! Hundred! Thousand! by Austin Kleon (Austin Kleon)
April is also Autism Acceptance Month. A book that made a huge impact on me is Steve Silberman’s Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity. (Steve also has good tips for being an ally — I learned to stop saying “high functioning” and “We’re all a little on the spectrum, aren’t we?”) If you’re a parent or a family member of an autistic kid, I found this booklet, Start Here: A Guide for Parents of Autistic Kids very helpful. (A few of my notes here.) Also worth reading is comedian Hannah Gadsby on her autism diagnosis. Some books by autistic authors on my to-read shelf: Temple Grandin’s Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism, Dara McAnulty’s Diary of a Young Naturalist, and the anthology, Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum With Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity.
In light of Autism Acceptance Month, Austin Kleon shares a number of resources.
