Books About Autistic Mental Health
Psychosis, substance use, and mad pride
Over the last few years I have published a number of books about Autistic and neurodivergent experience. In particular, people have found my books on Autistic mental health incredibly helpful, and some of them have even been bestsellers in their amazon category.

The books themselves are the following-
CAMHS In Crisis: Writings on the failure of CAMHS to support Autistic people
This book uses lived experience, research, and government legislation and policy to explore the failings of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the UK.
Unusual Medicine: Essays on Autistic identity and drug addiction
Unusual Medicine explores my experiences with substance use and addiction and how that interacts with my Autistic identity. This book was the culmination of my entire career within the Autistic community and one of my proudest moments was publishing it.
A Guide To Autism And Psychosis: Personal And Professional Insights From A Psychotic Mind
This was one of my more academically focused books. It interweaves my experience of being Autistic and Schizophrenic with research and insights from critical psychiatry and mad studies. This book has been incredibly popular as it explores concepts like the burnout to psychosis cycle.
The Little Book Of Madness: Words About Madness, Autism, And The Liberation Of Bodyminds
This is my most recent book and takes a philosophical yet accessible stance on how the framing of madness in society is directly harmful to Autistic people.
I hope that people find these books helpful, and remember that I do have other books as well. You can also support my work by paying for a subscription to my substack.
