Empowering Females with Asperger Syndrome

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Girls with Asperger's are less frequently diagnosed than boys; the image of coping well presented by many sufferers can mask difficulties, deficits, challenges and loneliness. The unique content of this book, with real-life stories and practical advice, provides an invaluable resource.

Rudy Simone guides you through every aspect of both personal and professional life, from early recollections of blame, guilt, and savant skills, to friendships, romance and marriage. Employment, career, rituals and routines are also covered. Simone rejects negative views of Aspergirls and empowers them to lead happy and fulfilled lives.
