April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day

Published: 2 April 2026

To mark this day, the team at the Neuro-Patient Resource Centre is sharing one of its favorite books with you:

Often, when autistic people and non-autistic people talk about autism, they鈥檙e talking about two different things. "L'Autisme expliqu茅 aux non-autistes" attempts to bridge the gap between these perspectives.

Written by an autistic woman, a clinician, and a mother of an autistic child, the authors debunk stereotypes, presenting autism not as a disorder, but as a unique way of functioning. Through 55 common misconceptions, they explore various myths and misunderstood behaviors. It is a highly relevant book, easy to read and understand.

You can borrow this book and discover our other books available in English and in French on the OverDrive platform or the Libby app. Here鈥檚 how: /infoneuro/ebooks
