Does anybody have suggestions of books or material to read about dealing with anxiety and depression as an autistic person?

I don't know if it's normal but it's because the mode I exist in is always kinda figuring out where boundaries to things are so I know what my limits are - I'm way more comfortable knowing what I can work with in various situations. It's always an 'oh no' moment when I realize that yes, I've found the limit for X, Y, or Z, but I've also totally hosed it. Which yes, is followed by a 'why am I like this???' moment, sigh.

Yea, that moment of 'oops' gets me often enough to question it.

I'm not sure I know of any books that deal specifically with anxiety and depression but most of the books I have read address it as kind of a central theme of being autistic, if that makes sense. I always recommend Unmasking Autism by Devon Price.

I always recommend Unmasking Autism by Devon Price. The author put out a new book recently called Unlearning Shame which could be relevant since it talks about dealing with anxiety, depression, etc. though it isn't specifically for autistic people. I haven't read it yet though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you for the recs, I'll try to get my hands on those. The clinic wants me to have an actual evaluation, because at this point they are pretty sure I'm on the spectrum and having documents on hand will enable them to provide more help for me and have it covered by my insurance, and my emotions about it all are still a complete mess.
