Six Free Kindle Books on Autism Spectrum Disorder

I love books. I was the kid that would go into a bookstore or a library and go and examine all the rows of books on a shelf. Today I do not have a lot of paper books. I prefer the portability of electronic books. It was inevitable. When I was a young child I created a device much like the Kindle. To see it created and assessable to nearly everyone is wonderful.

Now instead of looking at the rows of books I frequent the webpages of Amazon. In truth I have more books then I will probably every read - but that does not stop me from trying. Here is are some books I found. There were all priced as free when I added them. Double check before purchasing them, because prices can change. If people like this post then I can do some more lists in the future.

Autism Fiction



The Gauguin Connection (Genevieve Lenard)

Murdered artists. Masterful forgeries. Art crime at its worst.

Particularly because she has to deal with her high functioning Autism.

It started as a favour to help her boss' acerbic friend look into the murder of a young artist, but soon it proves to be far more complex. Forced out of her predictable routines, safe environment and limited social interaction, Genevieve is thrown into exploring the meaning of friendship, expanding her social definitions, and for the first time in her life be part of a team in a race to stop more artists from being murdered.

Brittany isn't sure anyone can overcome that kind of embarrassment! Or is there a way?
