Summary Note |
"Long thought of as a predominantly 'male' disorder, autism has long gone unidentified, unnoticed and unsupported in girls … [T]his book provides crucial insight into autistic girls' experiences, helping professionals to recognize, understand, support and teach them effectively. Drawing on the latest research findings, chapters consider why girls have historically been overlooked by traditional diagnostic approaches, identifying behaviours that may be particular to girls, and exploring the 'camouflaging' that can make the diagnosis of autistic girls more difficult." - Back cover. |
