Summary
Comprehensive overview of autism in females with lived experience accounts and latest research.
The difference that being female makes to the diagnosis, life and experiences of an autistic person is hugely significant. In this widely expanded second edition, Sarah Hendrickx combines the latest research with personal stories from girls and women on the autism spectrum to present a picture of their feelings, thoughts and experiences at each stage of their lives.
Outlining the likely impact will be for autistic women and girls throughout their lifespan, Hendrickx surveys everything from diagnosis, childhood, education, adolescence, friendships and sexuality, to employment, pregnancy, parenting, and aging.
With up-to-date content on masking, diagnosis later in life, and a new focus on trans and non-binary voices, as well as a deeper dive into specific health and wellbeing implications including menopause, PCOS, Hypermobility/Ehlers-Danlos, autistic burnout, and alexithymia, this is an invaluable companion for professionals, as well as a guiding light for women with autism to understand and interpret their own experience in context.

It's like the author has been a fly on the wall
I did not expect to be described so fully. It's reassuring to be able to connect so many of my experiences to autism, since it lets me make sense of it. Very much a recommended read.

Completo e interesante como introducción al tema
Me hubiera gustado que los capítulos tuvieran títulos para tener un orden sobre los temas y poder volver sobre algunos puntuales. En líneas generales me gustó mucho, abarca muchas áreas, testimonios, estudios y además es ameno.

Such a helpful book
As a complete newbie to the subject of ASD, I thought this might be a bit long and too much of a deep dive for me, but I found it a real ‘page turner’. It given me so much pause to reflect on myself, people I’ve known and still know, my family etc etc. I certainly feel in a much better position to meet my autistic great nephew when I eventually do with understanding and appreciation, and anyone else with ASD that I might meet. Excellent narration as well. Thank you

Absolutely revolutionary for me. Im not even half way through. It's me, in a book! It makes me realise why I've always felt like the ugly duckling. Thank you!

It was like someone understand the inside of my head better than I did.
It was like someone understood the inside of my head better than I did. I felt I could finally understand myself as an autistic and as a woman. It also gave me insight into how others saw the world from their own point of view and I only wished I had this book when I was younger, as it would have helped me navigate so much about my own mind.

in depth and interesting
A good all-round guide to what ASD presents as in women and girls, great for newly diagnosed or especially those who may work in education and want to find out more.
