The difference that being female makes to the diagnosis, life and experiences of a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has in large part gone unresearched and unreported until recently. In this book Sarah Hendrickx has collected both academic research and personal stories about women and girls at the autism spectrum to present a picture of their feelings, thoughts and experiences at each and every stage of their lives. Outlining how autism presents in a different way and can hide itself in females and what the likely affect can be for them all over their lifespan, the book looks at how females with ASD experience diagnosis, childhood, education, adolescence, friendships, sexuality, employment, pregnancy and parenting, and aging. It’ll provide invaluable guidance for the professionals who beef up these women and girls and It’ll offer women with autism a guiding light in interpreting and understanding their own life experiences through the experiences of others.
