What books do people think show a positive but realistic view of autism? I think Mockingbird and The Curious Incident in the Dog in the Night Time.

It is one of my favorite books I have read it several times. It is the book my pediatrician told my sister to read when I was first diagnosed with autism interesting.I was going to say The Curious Incident in the Dog in the Night Time too. It's also a really good little read, I think it's the only book I've read in one sitting.
These sound great I will them out. ThankyouI like mockingbird a lot.
Thanks for the recommendations another good biography (in small doses) is Thinking in Numbersthe books i prefer the most for autism are real accounts of it,not fiction.
i really like naoki higashidas 'the reason i jump' as i relate to it somewhat,as the lad is non verbal; but high functioning classic autistic- for that reason i struggle to relate but its a good read at the same time.
tito mukhopadhyays 'plankton dreams; what i learned in special ed' is another good book,i like titos work,he is profoundly autistic yet a established writer and author.
