Thanks for this! I love podcasts - I have more than I can count that I listen to. I haven't come across several on your list, so I am looking forward to giving them a listen.
One new show that's completely silly but fun is "Elsbeth," which is a whodunit series. It's hard to describe, but try to picture a mash up of "Columbo" and "Murder She Wrote" with an Autistic lawyer as the protagonist. They never say she's Autistic, but she obviously is.
I also love books, and have read many on your list. I have a few additional suggestions:
* Spectrums: Autistic Transgender People in Their Own Words, ed. Maxfield Sparrow
* And Straight On Till Morning: Essays on Autism Acceptance, pub Autistic Self Advocacy Network
* Neuroqueer Heresies: Nick Walker
* Authoring Autism, by M. Remi Yergeau
* A Field Guide to Earthlings, Ian Ford
* All the Weight of Our Dreams: On Living Racialized Autism, pub. Autism Women's Network (this one is out of print but if you can track down a copy, it's well worth a read)
I read very little nonfiction, but I've found a few books I like that feature Autistic characters:
* The Genevieve Lenard mystery series, by Estelle Ryan
Wow, thank you! I haven’t heard of a single one on your list of suggestions!!! It’s such a lovely gift to get a bunch of these at once because it saves me from researching other things to read/listen to. Yay!!!!!

Now I'm sitting here wondering whether I should get started working or dive into one of these lol. Priorities.
