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.

fantastic emotional read
My daughter 13 recently diagnosed, also I relate to my girl in many ways, I have never understood our differences in the world until her diagnosis. I'm currently seeking a diagnosis for myself which is proving to be emotionally difficult as I find it difficult to Express how I feel. Fantastic book highly recommended

Enlightening
If you are older and feeling "different" from other women, this might be very helpful

Worth a read if you want to learn more
Very educational and relatable but a bit repetitive at times. Worth reading if you want to learn more about Asperger’s in girls. I was particularly pleased to read that my perpetual voluntary singledom is not so unusual!

Great Audible Book
Loved this book. Im a counsellor who has found that im often working with Autistic clients. I have recently discovered that im likely to have Aspergers myself. I can see how my own counselling has helped me and would encourage any one else with Aspergers to have counselling. I believe i can celebrate all my Autistic super powers now that im in my 50's. Many of my struggles are behind me and its been great to put the puzzle pieces of my life together by reading this book. I can understand now why i mask especially around women. I understand why im most at home with men and why that gives me an advantage working with male clients.I would strongly recommend people with As finding their passion in life...ive never been happier. This book has also helped me realise why i need to relate all my clients stuff to my own experience. This helps me empathise on a deeper level. Maybe this is why my chosen career path only moved forward in my 40's as i wouldnt have been ready before. I love the way the author brings in all different perpectives. Girls and women are effected in many different ways and they are all represented. Can't recommend this book enough....its fab!!

Life changing
This was so helpful to listen to.
The narration was perfect. Clear and genuine.
The content was spot on and delivered in manageable sections.
I think this would suit all ages of girls and women with or with suspected AS. Also really helpful points for parents. Thankyou Rudy Simone.
