Work InformationThe ABCs of Autism Acceptance by Sparrow Rose Jones
None No current Talk conversations about this book. The ABCs of Autism Acceptance is like virtually no other book on autism that’s out on the market. Unlike other books about autism that are billed as imparting expert knowledge, ABCs actually does contain expert knowledge and insider wisdom from an Autistic person. They do a brilliant job of addressing a wide range of topics: bullying, relationships, empathy, healthcare access, and even the intersections of being Autistic with race and gender. The chapters are in essay form, and the author’s plain-speaking and informative writing style make this both an easy read and a great recommendation for anyone who wants to understand autism and Autistic people.
