Book Club & Book Lists
Are you looking for a good book to to learn about autism?
Since starting That Au-Some Book Club in 2019, our group has grown to over 10,000 members and has released several recommendation lists.
Our book lists are crowd-sourced by members of the book club, and Autistic opinions are prioritized in our decision making process.
While we have yet to find a perfect book on autism, all of the books we recommend have been discussed and chosen with care.
You can find all of our book lists below.
