Aspergirls

*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 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. 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 reading 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.

Girl Misunderstood One Girl s Journey to Understanding Her Asperger s As a Gift

As a young child, Bryony always knew she was different to the other girls at school. Every year, her teachers remarked how "quiet, shy and reserved" she was, while her parents observed how she had difficulty approaching other girls to be friends with them. Although she was familiar with Asperger's, the lack of understanding of autism in women meant that she didn't realise she had it until she was 21, in her second year of university. Now she was faced with reforming her identity in young adulthood, a difficult task for anyone. Girl, Misunderstood is a book for any autistic woman, or indeed any woman who feels that they are different, to reshape their beliefs about being on the autism spectrum in a more positive, and even spiritual, way. Bryony reflects on her life as a shy young child growing up relying on her closest friends to help her navigate the world, through to becoming a more confident, yet still reserved, young adult leaving university and entering the daunting 'real world'. In her attempt to help others, she gives advice based on her own experiences, particularly on relationships with family, friends and romantic partners. Most importantly and central to the book, she discusses her special interest in spirituality and how her interest in this through a dark period in her life helped her to see Asperger's in a novel new light, and how people with Asperger's may be different for a reason. This book is designed to make readers question the negative perception of autism in society and to empower autistic women to think positively about being different and recognise their strengths. The main message in this book that Bryony expresses is that having Asperger's can be seen as a spiritual gift.
