Books to read about autism to understand myself better.
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I do not know all the details – I will need to ask more during my next appointment with my psychiatrist. I have already started ADHD treatment and am in the process of finishing my antidepressants. However, autism seems to be trickier to handle. I have felt out of place for as long as I can remember, and I often struggle to understand this world. It is hard to accurately say what is different about me, what is considered "normal" for others but not for me, and vice-versa. I feel like I cannot make sense of it on my own. I thought there might be a book to help me learn how to live with these challenges and find peace so I no longer feel like I should not have been born.
