Resources

(UPDATED 2/9/26)

I’ll periodically update this list as I find new autistic adult podcasts, books, etc. (Sorry for all the parents out there, but I don’t have little humans, so there aren’t resources about/for children.)

These are all the ones I’ve come across so far. Please keep in mind that some of the TV shows and artists are people who seem autistic but haven’t publicly said so (that I’m aware of) . . .
