Autism Kids’ Books I Recommend

I’m an autistic author and illustrator and mom to an autistic kiddo and here are my favorite autism-affirming children’s books created by autistic/neurodivergent authors and illustrators. I will update as new titles become available. I’ve included Amazon affiliate links as a reference, but please support your local independent bookstores wherever possible.
