Girls with Autism Becoming Women
This insightful book investigates the experiences of seven women with autism as they transition from childhood to adulthood, and how they make sense of that journey. Taken from the autobiographies of women including Liane Holliday-Willey and Temple Grandin, these accounts shine a light on issues unique to women with autism. Heather Stone Wodis provides a detailed and thoughtful exploration of their common experiences, and each story offers a new perspective that illuminates the diagnosis from a different angle. This is a fascinating look at how generational differences, such as access to the internet, can provide more avenues toward self-expression, political mobilization, and advocacy. It also explores the idea that, no matter the era, the unyielding support of family and a diagnosis in childhood can help girls with autism transition toward adulthood.
This is Who I Am
Creative, engaging and personal, this book walks you step-by-step through the process of understanding and accepting a new autistic identity. Weaving together the personal lived experience and professional knowledge of neurodivergent author and creative career coach, Andrea Anderson, This is Who I Am provides you with the information, tools, and support to navigate your autistic discovery and reach a place of positivity and confidence. With a focus on shared stories, belonging and finding community the activities and reflections in this book are perfect for anyone who is validating their autistic self-identification, considering getting a diagnosis, in the process of being diagnosed or who has been diagnosed recently.
Education and Girls on the Autism Spectrum

Autism and Masking
Autistic people often feel they have to present as neurotypical or perform neurotypical social behaviours in order to fit in. So-called 'masking' is a social survival strategy used by autistic people in situations where neurodiversity is not understood or welcomed. While this is a commonly observed phenomenon in the autistic community, the complexities of masking are still not widely understood. This book combines the latest research with personal case studies detailing autistic experiences of masking. It explains what masking is and the various strategies used to mask in social situations. The research also delves into the psychology behind masking and the specifics of masking at school, at social events with peers, and at work. The book looks at the consequences of masking, including the toll it can have on mental and physical health, and suggests guidance for family, professionals, and employers to ameliorate negative effects. With a diverse range of voices, including perspectives across gender, ethnicity and age, this is the comprehensive guide to masking and how to support autistic people who mask.
