Recognizing Autism in Women & Girls by Wendela Whitcomb Marsh
Autism has long been considered a boys' condition, but there is more to this story. The truth is, autism looks different in women and girls. They're much better at masking their autistic characteristics. This book provides the perspective needed to see how autism manifests in gendered ways, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.
In the last ten years, we have become increasingly able to identify how autism may be expressed differently in girls and womenThis new comprehensive and engaging resource outlines those differences and may encourage parents and autistic adults to seek a diagnostic assessment, which should, in turn, improve the diagnostic abilities of clinicians. The lives of so many girls and women will be transformed by recognising their autism."—Professor Tony Attwood, Griffith University, Australia
