@actuallyautistic Could anyone recommend a book on emotions for Autistic people - preferably BY an Autist. My Autistic 14YO son just asked me for one, but "not one for kids". He says he needs something that discusses emotions and what they feel like, to help him understand how he feels. He knows anxiety all too well, but the more subtle ones are difficult for him to understand.

We're looking ourselves, of course, but so far the recommends we have found have been rather suspect. I value the ActuallyAutistic hive mind's opinions far more than any search engine's!

Please boost for reach ;-)

@actuallyautistic Thanks for all the pointers! I can see now that there are likely going to be a few book purchases - as an Autistic family, we could all do to read them, and we still have two boys at home who could benefit, plus other family members who might also.

@cybervegan @actuallyautistic hmmm. I don't see any of the replies..... someone mentioned that this happens on mastodon. Might be a huge flaw. Id like to see some answers to this for myself if you could repost some

@XenoDangerEvil @actuallyautistic Oh, not sure why Xeno. I think others have been seeing replies... maybe it's just pubsub latency or something? I've boosted and reposted most of them already (I think anyway).
