Inarguably,
the most famous, successful person with autism in the world today,
Temple Grandin was a non-verbal, often-violent child in the 50s. Her
mother, Eustacia Cutler raised Temple when her child's condition was
classified as "infant schizophrenia," brought on by "frigid mothering."
The common remedy was to warehouse those diagnosed in institutions for
the retarded. Eustacia's story is a strikingly honest story of myth and
reality, angst and guilt, family and society. Eustacia's literary
masterpiece reaches out to a much larger community than the one
directly affected by the epidemic growth of autism today. "A
magnificent accomplishment!"

Freaks,
Geeks, & Asperger Syndrome
Jackson, Luke
The author is an
adolescent with Asperger's, which gives him the special insight about
the subject, but he adds to this a sense of humor and a lilting writing
style which makes the book compelling and particularly relevant for AS
teens. He examines topics such as fixations and fascinations, diets,
sleep, problems with socializing at school, dating, homework, dealing
with bullies, moral dilemmas, and, even, an explanation of idioms that
are particularly perplexing for those with Asperger's Syndrome (e.g.
"feeling under the weather?"; "bark is worse than his bite").
