Hello, I love your tumblr and tumblr in general, but i don't know how to use it xDI have met a person who has become my best friend and is a person with asperger's. I don't want zim to bear the burden of my understanding, correcting the mistakes little by little. That's why I ask, where can I start to inform myself? There are tons of books, papers & experiences. The internet is a library of eternal wisdom mixed with spam and idiocy. Could you give me some recommendations for first readings?
Don’t mean to #self-promo but this blog is a good start, you can find a lot of people here with autism who might be willing to help you out and take you to resources that are trustworthy and helpful. There’s also my relatabites and any asks I answer, which you can find by searching for #autism relatabite or #ask on my blog!
Other than that there’s some other tumblr blogs and the #actuallyautistic tag. I’m hesitant to recommend actual websites as a lot of them are written by people that don’t have autism or understand it beyond a medical stance.
Never trust a website/company called Autism Speaks. Ever.
If anyone else has any suggestions please leave them in the notes!
