Critics Review
Sarah’s brilliant first edition was life changing for me and (like so many others) led to an unexpected late diagnosis. This much-needed revision brings her work right up to date packed with meticulous research, significant developments and powerful anecdotal experiences from the autistic female perspective. Sarah’s writing is captivating and utterly relatable, no doubt about it - this is THE essential guide to what we currently know about autism in girls and women. – Steph Jones MNCPS, author of The Autistic Survival Guide to TherapyA deeply important book. Informative, comforting and, frankly, revolutionary. Sarah has done a remarkable job helping autistic women understand themselves in a world that rarely includes them. If you’ve been diagnosed autistic, suspect you’re autistic, or love someone who’s autistic, Women & Girls is a classic for a reason. – Marian Schembari, author of A Little Less Broken
