Hi, #actuallyautistic author over here!
Kirkus says "Scope is a character of immense depth and originality. There are few protagonists in sci-fi—or literature in general—that present an autistic perspective with such specificity and pathos."

Thanks!

The Beginning
The Dungeon Alaria

This is an excellent book for parents of an autistic child as well as the child himself. Tito uses long words in complex sentences and expresses philosophical thoughts. " 'Can nothing be changed with me?' I ask the clock which tells me stories. But I understand that somethings need waiting. I get ready to wait for the green color of hope which would cover me all through. There may be different colors around me, but the clock told me that everything will be greenish."
Tito's writing is not corrected or edited. It is in United Kingdom English, though; Tito was born in India. I cried when the book was finished and hope to share it with my two autistic grandsons and the rest of their family. Please add this book to your list.

It's a cli-fi/surreal adventure story featuring autistic protagonists trying to save their utopian world from candy-coated villains. It has a lot of heart and a lot of elements that will really resonate with neurodivergent readers.

I'm impressed by how much this took off in 3 years! I created this list because I was struggling to find actually autistic authors, and I'm so happy at how it's grown!
I'm ✨creating a master list✨ on my blog since this isn't editable and people are limited to how many books they can add (it's only by voting).
✨ Feel free to message or contact me via my blog (link in profile) with your suggestions. I don't know what I don't know, and it can be difficult to find actually autistic authors via Google searches!

Several characters are also autistic, because I can't help myself, but since it's historical fiction it's implied rather than openly stated.

Ripples (Alice is autistic): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
This Great Wilderness (both the MCs are autistic): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
The Summer I Found Home (Alice shows up again and also her son is): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Thanks!

Did anyone ever do this? If not let me know what books you have and I'm happy to add them for you!
