    This book of short stories had some interesting perspectives from a Deaf author;

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chattering-Stories-Louise-Stern/dp/1847081185

    You should find it in your local library, or they will order it in for you.

    I don't think there's an autobiography, but pick up any biography of Brian Wilson, the main guy in the Beach Boys. He's an absolute genius but has had severe problems, which he's learned to deal with resulting in him eventually in 2004 putting together the album he started in the 60s.
