GeekList: Autism and Boardgames: Some Observations | BoardGameGeek: "If nonfiction is your thing, you could pick up any of the books by Temple Grandin, such as 'Thinking In Pictures' or 'Emergence: Labeled Autistic'.

If, like me, you're much more drawn to fiction, I cannot possibly give a higher recommendation to the book 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,' by Mark Haddon. It's a wonderful book and it's been widely praised by those both on and off 'the spectrum' for being one of the most realistic first-person fictional accounts of what an autistic teenager might think and feel. As well, I just plain found it to be a very emotionally moving story."
