About this List

These entries are from e-mail, online book lists, and the bibliographies included in books and papers. This will always be a work in progress in that I am constantly adding to it and correcting it. I welcome any additions or corrections you can contribute and thank everyone who has already sent me contributions, in particular one correspondent who has made numerous contributions but wishes to remain anonymous.

I'm trying to include every book title I can lay my hands on. At the time I'm writing this (2/00), I have titles for between 600 and 700 books specifically dedicated to Autism and I seldom add a book to the list because the vast majority of times that I see a reference or citation to a book, it is already in the list. I now estimate that there are no more than 1000 such books in all, which is why I can tackle the creation, correction and maintenance of this list in my spare time. While this list includes books in languages other than English, it does not include many because I do not run into references to them nearly so often as the ones in English, and when I see a title, I cannot aways tell if it is really about autism. Also included in this bibliography are a few books not specifically dedicated to autism, but said to be valuable to parents of autistics. Each entry has key words which indicate whether the book is specifically about autism. If you read this online, the ISBN numbers are links to Amazon.com which might offer the book for sale.

A bibliography of journal articles on autism would be valuable but would be much longer: it would not surprise me if there are 10,000 such articles. I will leave it to others to tackle such a list (I believe The Indiana Resource Center for Autism maintains such a list as does the Autism Research Unit of the University of Sunderland, England). I would not mind assembling a list of the 20 or 50 most valuable articles if I knew how to choose them.

I welcome short descriptions of and opinions on the books. Opinions are generally included like this: "Reader: great book on educational issues."

I maintain this list in Unix bib format, then convert it to HTML and the format used in the AUTISM FAQ Memo. I am updating the list constantly, so changes have been made to it since the writing of this introduction.

Key to labels

To assist you in finding a book on a particular subject, each entry has a label with one or more keywords listed as: [keyword,keyword,...]. Note that the labeling is in no sense complete, e.g. not every book about psychoanalysis is yet labelled [autism,psychoanalysis], and in particular, a book labelled simply [autism] is not to be assumed to be a general book on autism.

[adult]

[allergy]
about allergies.
[aspergers]

[autism]
book for which autism is the primary subject or one of the primary subjects or a book that is included in this list specifically because of its material on autism. Note that there are some books which I thought might be about autism but was not certain: they do carry this label, but have a comment to the effect that I'm not sure. Also: the fiction books listed because they have an autistic or autistic-like character are also labelled autism.

Simon Baron-Cohen.
Mindblindness: An Essay on Autism and Theory of Mind (Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press, 1995). Part of the series Learning, Development, and Conceptual Change. In Mindblindness, Simon Baron-Cohen presents a model of the evolution and development of "mindreading." [As far as I can tell from reviews, he is not referring to extra-sensory powers, but uses the term "mindreading" to mean the unconscious deductions & educated guesses we make about other peoples' minds -ed] He argues that we mindread all the time, effortlessly, automatically, and mostly unconsciously. It is the natural way in which we interpret, predict, and participate in social behavior and communication. We ascribe mental states to people: states such as thoughts, desires, knowledge, and intentions. Building on many years of research, Baron-Cohen concludes that children with autism, suffer from "mindblindness" as a result of a selective impairment in mindreading. For these children, the world is essentially devoid of mental things. Note: Newsweek 1995/8/14 has an article featuring this book.

It's unclear whether she believes that his mother caused all his problems or was merely exacerbating them. The book only reveals in very very small print that it's "a composite of a number of cases of the problems faced by the social service and medical profession in the diagnosis, treatment, and development of capabilities of such children" (i.e. this didn't actually take place).
