Someone Like Me

While the 'nerdy white man' stereotype of Autism dominates in media and popular culture, other Autistic people miss out on seeing themselves, their unique experiences, their hardships and their triumphs.

In Someone Like Me, edited by Clem Bastow and Jo Case, twenty-five Autistic gender-diverse and women writers explore their experiences – and explode stereotypes. This groundbreaking anthology delves into topics like sex, living room dance parties, the natural world, eating disorders, religion and all-encompassing passions through a creative mix of forms and voices. Autistic people of all kinds are invited to find company in these pages – and maybe even see themselves, too.

Contributors include Naoise Dolan, Lucy Rose, Fiona Wright, Jess Ho, Julie Farrell, Kenna Bethany, Kay Kerr, Khadija Gbla, Adele Dumont, Erin Riley and Kate Gordon.
