A unique look at women and girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Sarah Hendrickx has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is author of six books on the subject of autism and speaks at conferences worldwide. Sarah runs Hendrickx Associates, an autism and neurodiversity focused training, consultancy and support business. She lives West Sussex, UK, in a very crowded house with her (mostly autistic) family and autistic partner, Keith, and likes to travel to remote places on her bicycle to escape from them whenever she can.
This book adds to our knowledge by providing an insightful,
sensitive analysis of the pattern of behaviours in females from
childhood through to old age... This book endorses my clinical
experiences in working with females in the autism spectrum and
validates the importance of diagnosis at any time in a person's
life. Therefore I would highly recommend this book for all
professionals involved in diagnosis and supporting girls and women
in the autism spectrum.
*from the foreword by Dr Judith Gould, Consultant Clinical
Psychologist and Director of The Lorna Wing Centre for Autism*
