Hello this is my first substack comment just working it all out! I love this reading room idea. I have just started the James kustow one after speaking to him last week. Final decisions on it tbc but great to know others are reading it here too.
Love this idea (and thanks for the reminder I need to visit the Reading Room in real life) I have SO many books but here's what I have been reading/re reading
"Notes for Neuronavigators" by Jolene Stockman - super digestible and helpful to share with people you would like to learn more
"Nurturing your autistic young person" by Cathy Wassell - I gave this book to my husband, parents, sister and re read it quite often. It's just wonderful, and helped us support our children and me too
"Electricity of every living thing" by Kathrine May. Inspiring and beautiful 😍
"Strong Female Character" by Fern Brady. This resonated on many levels, not least bc of the Scottish connection.
I love these recommendations Cara. I’ve not heard of ‘Notes on Neuronavigators’ and will be most certainly adding that to my reading pile (slowly getting through them!) I think that’s great that ‘nurturing your autistic young person’ is helpful in the wider family, I think I’ll try that with my Mum & Dad too….. Katherine May ♥️ Electricity of every living thing… I sobbed when I read parts of that, at the recognition in my own struggles to accept my neurodivergence 💔 I must go back to Fern’s book… the rawness in her honest account I found painful to read, maybe it was too raw for me at that time. I love her Scottish humour too.
