Commentary and lists by A M Baggs

Despite what Tony Attwood says in the introduction to Lucy’s Story (1999), Lucy’s book is not the first nor the only book by a person who has never used speech. In fact, the apparent first *ever* book by an autistic person was called Understand: Fifty Memowriter Poems (1985), by David Eastham [of Ottawa, Canada], who never used speech. Other books, published by 1999 by people who had not used speech are Forever Friends (David Eastham, 1990), A Child of Eternity (Adriana Rocha and Kristi Jorde, 1995, admittedly nonsensical), I Don’t Want To Be Inside Me Anymore (Birger Sellin, transl. 1995); In Dark Hours I Find My Way (Birger Sellin, transl. 1995); I Had No Means to Shout! (Charles Martel Hale Jr., 1999) Through the Eyes of Aliens by Jasmine Lee O’Neill was written in 1998 by someone who, while she has used speech, does no longer.

As to the impression that more books are published by female authors with Autism than male authors:  
Despite appearances, there are actually both more male autistic authors out there and more books by autistic male authors.  Only slightly, but still more.  Books by male autistic authors are, however, more likely to be written through facilitated communication (which many people thus don’t read or hear of) and more likely to go out of print.  If you factor in FC and staying in print, *then* there are more books by female autistic authors (which almost never go out of print).  The problem  is not one of books *existing*, but of books being widely distributed and read.

List of autistic authors and their books, sorted by gender 

The authors are numbered, and their books are also numbered.  It will be noticable that there are slightly more autistic male authors than autistic female authors, and slightly more books as well. This is true even if you eliminate forthcoming books and Stephen Wiltshire’s art (I included him because I think drawing is as valid a communication method as any other).

OAARSN’S FEATURED BOOKS ON ADULT AUTISM ISSUES with OAARSN Reviews, 2000-2003,, in reverse date order.

Books reviewed represent the following categories:

• First Person Accounts by People on the Autism Spectrum
• Second Person Accounts by Parents and Caregivers
• General Guides for Parents, Caregivers and Teachers
• Diagnosis, Descriptions, Types, and Factors of Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Service Models and Best Practices
• Specific Treatments and Therapies

Compiled from lists of “top titles” mainly published since 2012. Some reflections on the exercise of choosing these titles about adult Autism issues:

We are impressed by the range of titles about Autism Spectrum Conditions in Adults (ASC is becoming the preferred generic term for all of Autism as it is less pathological than Autism Spectrum Disorder). 

What an explosion of research and publication in the past 10 years! Great credit should go to Jessica Kingsley Publishers, celebrating its 30^th year in 2017. But there’s very little about Canadian experience and innovations.

Many new books are actually by people on the Autism Spectrum; or if not, their authors are much more sensitive to the points of view of autistics themselves and more positive and respectful than in the past.

More positive emphasis is placed on a person’s gifts and circumstances, rather than trying to fix what’s wrong.  

We included some light-hearted and insightful titles such as those by Kathy Hoopmann.

Sensory issues have come into clearer focus, including in planning environments that help people to thrive. For GSA supporters and others interested in creating good homes, we recommend At home with Autism : designing housing for the spectrum / Kim Steele, Sherry Ahrentzen / Kim Steele, Sherry Ahrentzen | Policy Press | 2016.

People with more complex needs at the severe end of the spectrum are not always discussed with similar respect, notably people who cannot use their voices and who are assumed to be cognitively as well as communicatively impaired. 

While there is still a shortage of books about communication supports, the top Autism book of 2017 must be Naoki Higashida’s Fall Down 7 times Get up 8, translated by David Mitchell. Friends of GSA and Bridges: If there’s only one book about Autism you can read this year, this should be it. It’s good to report that GPL already has this book as well as Naoki’s earlier The Reason I Jump (2013).
