Today we celebrate neurodiversity, and aim to increase awareness of autism in our community.

The world has come a long way in its understanding of autism, and a large part of this has been due to the shared insights of adults living with autism.

Your library service has a wide range of resources relating to autism, including books by Temple Grandin and John Elder Robison, who write of their own adventures and experiences of living with autism. You can click here to start searching the catalogue, or ask one of our friendly staff to help you get started.
