Does anyone know any books by middle eastern autistic women? At best queer ones, but since this is already something so very specific, I think even by allo cishet ones would be very helpful.

Tried to search on my own, but didn't find anything...

I am asking because one of the most important characters in some novel project I have is an queer autistic Turkish-German woman, and I want to get her experience right, since it very likely does differ from mine as a white queer autistic woman.

Podcasts, Youtube, blogs etc would also be helpful, though I think a book would be best because of how deep it can go into topics

Hey thanks for stopping by! I encourage our followers to drop their recs on this post. I'll do some research today and hopefully update this. Also if anyone fits this specific demographic would you like them to get in contact with you so you can interview them or maybe they could be a sensitivity reader?

Daily Book – The Final Strife

With roots in the mythology of Africa and Arabia, three women band together against a cruel empire that divides people by blood.

Sylah dreams of days growing up in the resistance, being told she would spark a revolution that would free the empire from the red-blooded ruling classes’ tyranny. That spark was extinguished the day she watched her family murdered before her eyes.

Anoor has been told she’s nothing, no one, a disappointment, by the only person who matters: her mother, the most powerful ruler in the empire. But when Sylah and Anoor meet, a fire burns between them that could consume the kingdom—and their hearts.

Hassa moves through the world unseen by upper classes, so she knows what it means to be invisible. But invisibility has its uses: It can hide the most dangerous of secrets, secrets that can reignite a revolution. And when she joins forces with Sylah and Anoor, together these grains of sand will become a storm.

Exit West by Mohsin Hamid In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. When their love affair explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price.
