Product Overview
From Follett

Includes bibliographical references. "This graphic novel explores the experiences and difficulties faced by women on the autism spectrum, such as late or incorrect diagnosis and having to master the art of pretending to be 'normal'"--Provided by publisher.

From the Publisher

Autism in women and girls is still not widely understood, and is often misrepresented or even overlooked. This graphic novel offers an engaging and accessible insight into the lives and minds of autistic women, using real-life case studies.

The charming illustrations lead readers on a visual journey of how women on the spectrum experience everyday life, from metaphors and masking in social situations, to friendships and relationships and the role of special interests.

Fun, sensitive and informative, this is a fantastic resource for anyone who wishes to understand how gender affects autism, and how to create safer supportive and more accessible environments for women on the spectrum.
