This groundbreaking audiobook describes the unique challenges of women and girls with autism spectrum disorder. In it, you’ll listen to candid stories written by the indomitable women who have lived them and hear experts discuss whether ASD girls are slipping under the radar and remaining undiagnosed. This second edition provides practical solutions schools can implement and social tips for teenage girls navigating puberty, the transition to work or university, and highlights the importance of and strategies for careers. Winner of the Gold Award, Foreword Book of the Year.

The book I wish I had read when I was younger

...but I couldn't. The stuttering, pausing, poor timing and relentless monotone was too distracting. A wealth of information that was read so poorly you constantly have to replay parts. I really wish this book would be read aloud by someone who can read fluently with some care for the readers comprehension, and perhaps put more effort into not sounding so bored and unbothered by her constant mistakes, sighs and mispronounciations. I mean... surely Audible should have better standards than this, people are paying their money for this with an expectation of quality, at least the quality of clarity.

I really wanted to get past the narrator's flaws.

This is appauling. You have a group of WORLD CLASS contributors to this amazing book but the narration is beyond terrible. There is actually one point where you can hear the narrator stop mid sentence, sigh, pause and keep going... Am I not paying for Audible to edit this? I am not receiving a copy of the book, its all reliant on listening but the narrator is absolutely terrible and frankly unprofessional. Can you please just get Tony to narrate this one too like his Aspergers Syndrome book? He is so charming.

Can you please re-record the narration?

The content was very helpful however I would recommend the physical book if you can find it and reading is how your brain can access this type of info. The recording seems to have been done by someone who had a free few hours and in any old room. It’s full of errors, slurring and odd phrasing. Like I would sound if I tried to read a whole book out loud. I still listened to the whole book and appreciated the content.

Great content but not a professional recording

Please re-record this amazing book. it is very hard to listen to with the current narrator. Very disappointing Audible.

Amazing content, very poor narration.
