About this listen

Winner of the Gold Award in the 2006 ForeWord Book of the Year competition, this groundbreaking book describes the unique challenges of women and girls with Asperger's Syndrome. In it you'll hear candid stories written by the indomitable women who have lived them. You'll also hear from experts who discuss whether Aspie girls are slipping under the radar, undiagnosed; why many AS women feel like a minority within a minority (outnumbered by men 4:1); practical solutions school systems can implement for girls; social tips for teenage girls, navigating puberty, the transition to work or university, and the importance of careers.

Helpful chapters include:

  • The Pattern of Abilities and Development of Girls with Asperger's Syndrome
  • Asperger's Syndrome in Women: A Different Set of Challenges?
  • Educating the Female Student with Asperger's
  • Girl to Girl: Advice on Friendship, Bullying, and Fitting In
  • Preparing for Puberty and Beyond
  • The Launch: Negotiating the Transition from High School to the Great Beyond
  • Aspie Do's and Don'ts: Dating, Relationships, and Marriage

Why doesn't Audible match the chapter numbers of the book to the chapter numbers on the screen?! And better yet, why aren't the chapter names included? Why is there no table of contents? (Read the hard copy of this book. It's great.)

Book is good. Navigating it is not.
