About this Petition Pledge
Why This Is Important

There's plenty of literature about autism circulating throughout many sources. Why not pick something written by an autistic? Especially if you desire to capture a feel for the essence and reality of autism verses assumptions pertaining to biased clinical studies. Need a place to start? Here's a few suggestions:

1. Autism and the Myth of the Person Alone by Douglas Biklen, et al.

2. Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism by Dawn Prince-Hughes

3. Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's by John Elder Robison

4. Nobody Nowhere: the Extraordinary Autobiography of an Autistic by Donna Williams

5. How Can I Talk If My Lips Don't Move: Inside My Autistic Mind by Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay

Visit your local library, bookseller, or online source to obtain a copy of the above mentioned titles. Then give yourself a pat on the back!
