This may sound like an unusual question but can anyone either name or recommend good / successful books that were published by an author with Asperger's syndrome or autism?

I know alot of publishers virtue signal and publish books by minority groups but I see the asperger's group kind of gets overlooked.

Also I would be very interested to read a succesful book by an author living with asperger's syndrome today. I like books with a new perspective.

If anyone can name or recommend some titiles, I would be grateful
 
I'm autistic myself.

In terms of authors I like who have/had a diagnosis, there's the US poet Ron Silliman. Or at the other end of the poetic and political spectrum, the late Australian poet Les Murray.

There are many authors from the past who may well have been autistic, such as Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, and the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Sorry, I know you were asking for book titles. But for me, pretty much anything by the authors I've mentioned is worth checking out.
