Can any of you recommend any decent books for adults with a form of autism? I'd appreciate it.

"Pretending to be Normal" by Liane Holliday-Willey, diagnosed at the same time as one of her three daughters

"Ask and Tell: Self-Advocacy and Disclosure For People on the Autism Spectrum" by Liane Holliday-Willey

"Diagnosing Jefferson" by Norm Ledgin, controversial and interesting

"Women From Another Planet?: Our Lives in the Universe of Autism" by Jean Miller

"Autism and the God Connection" by William Stillman <-- I think this will be your favorite

Temple Grandin's books, but you probably already knew about them

aaaaand do not read books written to address relationships/marriages with people on the spectrum, not unless you want to be angered and depressed. Those books assume the affected is male and are very very biased in favor of his wife who apparently must be a saint.
