MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

The revised and updated edition of the groundbreaking book Asperger's and Girls describes the unique challenges of females on the autism spectrum. In it, you'll follow the lives of women with autism through childhood, the social and academic challenges of the education system, and into the career and dating worlds. You'll also hear from top experts on crucial and often under-discussed subjects, including:

Diagnosing girls with ASD
Navigating the neurotypical social world
Puberty, sexual health, and personal safety
Independence, relationships, and marriage
The importance of the right career

And so much more.

This book is a necessity for women with autism and those who love and support them. Direct advice from leading professionals and candid stories written by the indomitable women who have lived them send an important message: we are women with autism. Give us the right tools and we can change the world.

First edition was winner of the Gold Award, Foreword Book of the Year.
