@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 sure exactly what you mean by "a book on emotions", but "Looking after your autistic self" by @niamhgarvey is a good start.
She also has a new book out, but it's marketed as being for kids (though I know a quite a few adults have found it useful) so that might put your son off.
