izzy reviewed Is This Autism? by Donna Henderson
Wish I'd had this when I first suspected autism
5 stars
This book takes apart the diagnostic criteria for autism, explaining every criterion in detail, answering questions, and giving countless examples by autistic people.
It's worth mentioning that this book isn't about autism in general, but specifically about people who might be missed until adulthood, specifically autistics without learning difficulties who camouflage. While the book itself isn't written by autistic people, the authors consulted autistic people both for examples and for proof-reading, and it shows.
If you've been looking for a book clarifying the current diagnostic criteria (ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR) in regard to masked autistic people, I highly recommend this book
