This book will be essential reading for females of any age diagnosed with AS, and those who think they might be on the spectrum. 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. Including the reflections of over thirty-five 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. Employment, career, rituals and routines are also covered, along with depression, meltdowns and being misunderstood. 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. This is a must-have handbook written by an Aspergirl for Aspergirls, young and old. The image of coping well presented by AS females of any age can often mask difficulties, deficits, challenges, and loneliness. Girls with Asperger’s Syndrome are less frequently diagnosed than boys, and even once symptoms have been recognised, help is often not readily available. * Honorary Mention in the 2010 BOTYA Awards Women’s Issues Category * *Gold Medal Winner in the Sexuality / Relationships Category of the 2011 IPPY Awards*
