About meI'm not good at describing myself.

About my libraryI collect books by autistic people (which I tag as "autiebook"), and I also have a number of books on other subjects.

My ratings are fairly relative, and incredibly subjective. So a five-star autiebiography is five stars compared to other autiebiographies I've read, and is based on my personal enjoyment of the book, not necessarily on whether others would or should enjoy it. If I had a five-star political book, I might like it more, or less, than a five-star autiebiography, it's all as compared to other books like it, rather than to books in general. And given that "I don't like it" can be because of something like "I can barely read it," and "I like it" can be because of something like "It's got one little topic in it that I'm incredibly interested in," it's important not to assume too much about why the ratings got how they are.

Some of my books I've either bought or asked for, but some I have been given.

You've got some great books on there - I am particularly interested in those you've tagged psychiatric survivors - and institutions.
hello! i'm writing a poetry chapbook about autism (well, about a character with autism. More importantly, I saw that we share Birger Sellin's book, "I Don't Want to Be Inside Me Anymore." Not many people have that one. I'm so glad you have it on your library shelf. It is an amazingly powerful book.
Yes I've read it.
I note that as well as autism books you have some sf. Have you read Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. It's not her usual military sf but is sf on autism. she has an autistic son.
