The ultimate list of autism books. Whether you are a parent of a newly diagnosed child with autism, a special education teacher or other autism professional, these books are valuable sources of information and guidance. I’ve put together this list based on my 18 years working with children with autism and the resources I recommend to the parents I work with at my autism center.
