Summary
This updated book by Sarah Hendrickx explains how autism can look different in women and girls. It mixes research with personal stories, covering life stages from childhood to old age, including school, work, relationships, and parenting. It also talks about late diagnosis, masking, and the experiences of trans and non-binary people, as well as health issues like menopause, PCOS, hypermobility, burnout, and trouble identifying emotions. It’s a helpful guide for both autistic women and the professionals who support them.
