This is a wonderful book to read if you are a female and feel like you possibly could be Autistic. Men and women on the spectrum are completely different in how their Autism is expressed. This book highlights those differences and it’s a picture book, making it age appropriate for everyone. As an autistic female, I camouflaged myself for 40 years of my life. This led me to a dark place where I attempted suicide. Suicide is very common in Autistic people who hide their true selves. Fortunately, I sought help and it was when I was diagnosed with ASD, that I was able to reveal my true self!! A truly life changing event, that I wish would have been discovered years ago.

This is a quick read and I highly recommend it to everyone so more Autistic females will be accepted for who they truly are in the world! ( )

Received via NetGalley for review.

Beautifully illustrated and concise, this small graphic novel informs (and never bores!) you of the different ways autism presents in women and men. The differences are so striking that it makes sense women are less often diagnosed and treated.

Definitely a great resources for readers of any age on a little-known subject. ( )

Interesting work about the differences between men and women who are autistic, what traits they may exhibit and share, and the experiences of a few women with autism. ( )

I don't know much about autism and didn't realize it presented itself differently in women! Nearly all the behaviors that I had associated with autistic people were behaviors which were actually associated with autistic MEN. I'm happy for the further reading that Dr. Bargiela included in the back. ( )

The presentation and art are a bit odd, but, whoa, is this slim little book chock-full of eye-opening information about underdiagnosis of autism in women. ( )
