Thanks so much for this. I especially appreciated the blog post on "accessible" language. In my day job I'm a science and medical writer whose work is translating technical material into plain language. I spend so many hours buried in medical literature that my casual speech is a hybrid of long-ass words and phrases like "long-ass words." :)
Thanks for this list! So much to explore. Especially excited about the Buddhism/autism material - I hadn't read that before, but it felt true as soon as I saw the words sitting next to each other.
Diving in and already devoured the first few! Will be back. Thank you so much. Curious - have you read the book "What I mean when I say I'm autistic?" By Annie Kolocwitz. It was very helpful to me earlier in my autistic self discovery journey. Also would add Katherine May's work and that of Sarah Hendrickx, who specialises in female or hidden autism.

This is wonderful!
I would add torri blue's series on Mary Oliver:

GAH the connection between autism + poetry is undeniable!!! (reading it now...wow!)
Oh this looks gooooooood. Thank you friend!
Can't wait to dig into this list. So much work that obviously went into it. Many thanks Sarah!
Thank you for that acknowledgement, Gail <3
(I'm also immediately like, *oh my gawd I left so many things out!!* Lol)
That's the nice thing about Substack. You can keep adding to it and then republish again for next Autism Acceptance Month!
This is brilliant! I want to spend my entire weekend poring through all of these resources and links. Thank you.🙏
I hope you find some useful / inspiring things, friend!
Good morning! Perhaps Autism and Family: How to be a Sister by Eileen Garvin
Thank you Bill!
Oh wow! What a treat! Thank you for this, my fellow divergent traveler!

Right?! That's been my experience with that topic, too...I hope you'll let me know how it lands once you start digging in!

I haven't! Though I'm familiar with those other two names and I agree: they're incredible.
Adding that book to my list! Thank you thank you.
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for this! 😃💜
