More Perfect Union Book Discussion Group: Unpuzzling Autism: What I mean when I say I'm Autistic In-Person

Join our A More Perfect Union Book Discussion with Social Services Leader, Payton Barger. This book discussion group is a chance to explore, learn and understand more about social topics that might be of interest to you in order to find a "More Perfect Union" in our community. This month's book pick is Unpuzzling Autism: What I mean when I say I'm Autistic by Annie Kotowicz. Free copies of the book (yours to keep) are available at Central Library's Upper Level Customer Service Desk for registered participants. The E-book version is available on Libby through the Indiana Digital Library. Physical copies will be available one month prior. Registration is required. If you're interested in joining virtually via Zoom please email Payton at pbarger@nafclibrary.org to make that request. Coffee and snacks will be provided. 

About the Book:

How might it feel to be autistic? Why are autistic and non-autistic people so puzzling to one another? How does neuroscience explain the spectrum of autistic traits? And what could you discover about your own mind—neurotypical or neurodivergent—through learning about another?
Drawing on popular stories from her blog Neurobeautiful—along with memories never shared before—Annie Kotowicz has created a nuanced analysis of her autistic thinking, an engaging guide to autistic thriving, and a beautiful celebration of autistic brains.
What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic will inspire autistic people and those who love them, offering help and hope to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the autism spectrum.
