Autistic Authors Booklist and Facts

Last updated Sunday 25 June 2006.

The following is a booklist of books by autistic authors, alphabetical by author's last name and then as close to chronological as possible. Most are in English, although there are some in other languages. There is a link to the author's website where possible, and in the event that the entire book is published on the web, there is a link to the book. This list does not include people speculated to be autistic, or closeted autistic people, only people who have published as autistic. Bill Gates and Einstein are not here, nor are people who have published books but are not openly autistic (I respect their privacy). Some items in this list are more articles than books, but have been published as if they are books. Some interesting facts about these books are listed below the booklist.

Where determinable, books that don't mention autism will have the words "not autism-related" after them.

Books by, or edited by, autistic people

In anthologies, contributing authors are listed after the title, when they're known. Anthology contributors known to be autistic are in bold, but I may miss some unless I've read the book.
