Growing up isn't easy, and the trials and tribulations of being a teenager can be particularly confusing for girls with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). This book covers all the concerns commonly faced by girls with ASDs and their parents, from periods and puberty to worries over friendships and "fitting in". Taking a good look at these adolescent issues, and many more, within the context of specific areas of difficulty for girls with ASDs, the authors provide families with the knowledge and advice they need to help their daughters - and the whole family - through the teenage years. This book addresses core issues such as cognition, communication, behavior, sensory sensitivities, and social difficulties; it gives candid and realistic advice on a wide range of important teenage topics. Providing professional perspectives alongside personal experiences from mothers, daughters and educators, this is a unique and indispensible guide for families and their daughters with ASDs, as well as the teachers and professionals who work with them.

More About Girls Growing Up on the Autism Spectrum: What Parents and Professionals Should Know About the Pre-Teen and Teenage Years
I received this book as a Goodreads Firstread book.I am an adult who is neither a parent, nor a professional who deals with children. However, some medical professionals have suggested that I be evaluated to see if I have some form of high functioning autism. After reading this book, I believe that I do need to be evaluated, because... Great information, but this book was depressing and quite scary. I understand the author is trying to give a realistic picture, but I had difficulty sleeping after reading this book. A good informative read, but not an enjoyable one. I highly recommend this book to anyone who regularly deals with girls on the spectrum. It was incredibly thorough. The resource list was excellent(at the end of every chapter) and the practical suggestions were wonderful as well. I can't praise this book enough
