Someone like me : an anthology of non-fiction by autistic writers
2025
Book
An expansive anthology of creative non-fiction, memoir, graphic storytelling and more from a stellar line-up of Autistic gender-diverse and women writers. 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 ranges from sex, living room dance parties and the natural world to eating disorders, all-encompassing passions and religion. Autistic people of all kinds are invited to find company in these pages - and maybe even see themselves, too. Contributors include Fiona Wright, Sarah Kian-Judge, CB Mako, Jess Ho, Kay Kerr, Khadija Gbla, Adele Dumont, Erin Riley, Shadia Hancock, Amanda Tink, Tash Aganoff, Kai Ash, Anna Whateley and Kate Gordon.
