I really wanted to get past the narrator's flaws.

...but I couldn't. The stuttering, pausing, poor timing and relentless monotone was too distracting. A wealth of information that was read so poorly you constantly have to replay parts. I really wish this book would be read aloud by someone who can read fluently with some care for the readers comprehension, and perhaps put more effort into not sounding so bored and unbothered by her constant mistakes, sighs and mispronounciations. I mean... surely Audible should have better standards than this, people are paying their money for this with an expectation of quality, at least the quality of clarity.

The book I wish I had read when I was younger

Honest and thorough. A much needed insight to girls and women with Autism. Would recommend for all.

Can you please re-record the narration?

This is appauling. You have a group of WORLD CLASS contributors to this amazing book but the narration is beyond terrible. There is actually one point where you can hear the narrator stop mid sentence, sigh, pause and keep going... Am I not paying for Audible to edit this? I am not receiving a copy of the book, its all reliant on listening but the narrator is absolutely terrible and frankly unprofessional. Can you please just get Tony to narrate this one too like his Aspergers Syndrome book? He is so charming.

A very helpful look at autism in girls

I loved the sharing of real life experiences of the author plus the bringing in of information by others very knowledgeable in autism.

Excellent information

Unfortunately, it was the worst narration I have experienced so far (lots of words stumbled over or misspoken). This was a bit triggering/ironic for a book about people on the spectrum.

I cannot get past the narration

Why? Why was this published like this? I'm annoyed to have paid for this substandard release. Obviously it's great material but I cannot get further with it due to the narration. I understand reading errors occur but why wasn't this corrected in post-production before asking people to pay for this? Not good enough.

Terrible narration

I feel that this would have been an interesting helpful book if I had finished it. However the narrator seemed uninterested and was difficult to listen to.
