Autistic Authors

[close] Group set up by NT in a ND world. You may have seen me posting book reviews on Facebook. I’ve set up this group for a number of reasons: To promote, read, discuss and share Neurodivergent authors books. To promote, read, discuss and share BIPOC authors books. To promote, read, discuss and share LGBTQIA+ authors books. To continually educate myself, amplify and listen, unlearn and learn from those with lived experience. To share my passionate interest of reading with others. Books will mainly be relating to Neurodiversity, Neurodivergence, Autism, ADHD, identity politics, advocacy, unlearning unconscious prejudice, learning from those with lived experience and social justice.

[close] Full Spectrum Agency Book Club was created out of a non-profit organization named "Full Spectrum Agency for Autistic Adults (FSA)". This is a virtual book club and any autistic person from around the world may join. We read books about autism and neurodivergence, books by autistic authors, books by other neurodivergent authors with conditions associated with autism, books about autistic people, best sellers, and other general genres of books/literature. The FSA organization webpage may be found here: http://www.fullspectrumasd.org. FSA also has Meetup pages where events for this book club and other events may be found: https://www.meetup.com/full-spectrum-agency-autistic-adults/, https://www.meetup.com/full-spectrum-agency-boston/, and https://www.meetup.com/full-spectrum-agency-friends-family-group/. All autistic adults whether professionally diagnosed, self-diagnosed/self-identified, questioning/wondering and assisting caregivers of members (and neurotypicals in special circumstances) are welcome to join us for the Full Spectrum Agency Book Club meetings and/or other in-person or virtual events. We hope to see you there!
