Publisher's Summary
Award-winning handbook for girls and women on the autism spectrum, perceptive and wise reflections and advice .
Gold Medal Winner in the Sexuality/Relationships Category of the 2011 IPPY Awards
Honorary Mention in the 2010 BOTYA Awards Women's Issues Category
Girls with Asperger's syndrome are less frequently diagnosed than boys, and even once symptoms have been recognised, help is often not readily available. The image of coping well presented by AS females of any age can often mask difficulties, deficits, challenges and loneliness.
This is a must-have handbook written by an Aspergirl for Aspergirls, young and old. Rudy Simone guides you through every aspect of both personal and professional life, from early recollections of blame, guilt and savant skills to friendships, romance and marriage. Employment, career, rituals and routines are also covered, along with depression, meltdowns and being misunderstood. Including the reflections of over 35 women diagnosed as on the spectrum, as well as some partners and parents, Rudy identifies recurring struggles and areas where Aspergirls need validation, information and advice.
As they recount their stories, anecdotes and wisdom, she highlights how differences between males and females on the spectrum are mostly a matter of perception, rejecting negative views of Aspergirls and empowering them to lead happy and fulfilled lives.
This book will be essential listening for females of any age diagnosed with AS and those who think they might be on the spectrum. It will also be of interest to partners and loved ones of Aspergirls and anybody interested either professionally or academically in Asperger's Syndrome.

Good narration
Narrator is very easy to listen to, the content is good too but completely heterocentric and occasionally spiritual which personally I find a bit jarring.

A window of opportunity for the modern era
A window of opportunity for the modern era that demonstrates the Colour of AS with astounding accuracy and depth, sincerety, and plenty of tips and practical examples for navigating through the shades of grey that we all come across along the way.
Well done, Ms Simone !

Excellent resource.
I was suspecting already that I have Asperger's, but I wasn't absolutely sure about it. Listening this book washed away all my doubts and gave me clarity. Now I feel confident and empowered to seek for diagnosis, for myself and for my children too.

What an eye opener.
Was recommended this by my psychiatrist and have finished it in less than a week.
My eyes are wide open at my diagnosis now.

Promotes pseudoscience
Very valuable in terms of collecting experience of women with Autism, but promotes Raiki and diets for treating Autism.

Some useful info, but seemed a bit unscientific
I kind of liked this at first, but it feels aimed at tweens and worse it seemed a bit unscientific as time went on and I trusted the info less and less. I'm sure there are better resources out there.
