Autism (also known as autism spectrum disorder or ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition and encompasses a range of differences in social interaction, communication, interests, and behavior.
With proper support, individuals with autism can develop their skills and thrive. Awareness and acceptance are key steps in supporting those with autism on their unique journeys. We encourage everyone to deepen their understanding of the diverse experiences and characteristics of individuals on the autism spectrum to foster inclusivity and openness.
In honor of World Autism Acceptance Week in April, David Lam Library curated a display showcasing a variety of books and e-books authored by and about individuals on the autism spectrum and their diverse workplace experiences. Check out the books and e-books selected for the display:
