Autism is an extremely important issue that should be apparent in more children books and adolescent novels. Whether a child is coping with a family member who has been diagnosed with autism or is struggling with autism themselves, being able to relate to a character in a book is extremely helpful and insightful.
As picture books, both "Ian's Walk" and "Since We're Friends" are great beginning books for showing and explaining the issue of autism. The novels "Rules" and "Jackson Whole Wyoming" are also great authentic books that deal with issues of autism. All of these books are full of character growth as well as inspiration in which the readers of these books can relate to and learn from.
