@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 ;-)

Not exactly a book about emotions, but maybe worth to note:
The curious incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
By Mark Haddon
It's funny story about a nerdy teenage autistic boy with trouble understanding emotions

@LegoPink @actuallyautistic Thanks, yep we have it, and all of them have read it. It was the book that made my 19YO step daughter wonder if she was Autistic, and turned out she is.
