Hello! Here are a few personal accounts from women/nonbinary folk with autism that have been most helpful to me. (Please excuse the rough formatting, I'm new here and not sure how to embed links in comments.)

The Nobody Nowhere series by Donna Williams - a classic, one of the first, but it shaped a lot of my understanding of symbol as language and hiding/masking.

Ballastexistenz (https://ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/) - Blog by Mel Baggs on autism, institutional abuse, and being human

Laura Tisoncik's activism work - it's scattered around through a lot of sources, but she has played a pivotal early role in the forming of autism communities.
