Literary Neurodiversity Studies: Current and Future Directions
This book is a concise but comprehensive introduction to the field of literary neurodiversity studies, a growing approach to literary criticism that has emerged in the past decade. Its three parts are designed to: 1) introduce readers both to the general concept of neurodiversity and to current outlooks, approaches, and key scholarship from literary neurodiversity studies; 2) to present one possible vision of the future of literary neurodiversity studies, by offering an argument about how the field might further entwine with more general research on literary cognition, literary emotion, and literary sensation; and 3) to model for readers how one might perform a neurological reading of a literary text, by offering a sustained analysis of Shakespeare's Othello. It also contains an extensive bibliography of existing scholarship from literary neurodiversity studies, which will provide an indispensable resource for new and experienced researchers in the field.

Neuro-WHAT? (The Autism Book)
My clients over the years have repeatedly asked for an easy-to-read book, saying, "We want to take home what's in your head." Neurodivergence, with a focus on Autism, is the key subject of this book in which my use of "Aspie" is a shortening of Autistic Spectrum Person. So this is an everyday-language explanation of all things Aspie, written for Aspies and non-Aspies. Aspies repeatedly ask me to explain how non-Aspies think and work, and neurotypicals are often confused by Aspies. Many interesting case studies and illustrations (it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words) are included to aid these social understandings and interactions. Each chapter is self-contained, so that a reader can quickly get answers and tools in an overall synopsis contained in one section. The last chapter is a show-case collection of individual personal stories and expressions. Neuro-WHAT? is written in non-academic language as much as possible, but also tries to demystify the academic language ofte

The Neurospicy Manifesto is a gloriously unfiltered, brutally honest, and hilariously dark deep dive into the autistic experience. This is not your typical “let’s raise awareness” book wrapped in neurotypical-friendly packaging. No, this is for the exhausted, the misunderstood, and the gloriously unapologetic neurodivergent folks who are tired of playing along in a game where the rules make no sense.

Talking the Talk About Autism: How to share and tell your story
As autistic self-advocates, our personal stories hold a lot of power: they are sources of strength, tales of overcoming barriers and adversity, and a way for us to assert agency and receive the support we might need. But how do you actually disclose your diagnosis? How do you tell teachers, support staff, colleagues, friends, or anybody else about your disability and account for their varied reactions? Or, if you're a parent or ally, how do you tell the person you're supporting about their own neurodivergent identity and culture?

Is This Autism?: A Companion Guide for Diagnosing Audible Logo Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Understanding of autism has greatly expanded in recent years, and many clinicians feel ill-equipped or confused about how to incorporate this knowledge into their diagnostic process. As a result, countless unidentified autistic people do not have reasonable access to proper identification or support. This book describes current assessment methods, including interviewing, rating scales, self-report measures, social cognition tests, and behavioral observations. It also provides guidance regarding cultural considerations, common mistakes, and how to communicate with and support clients through the diagnostic process.
