Produktbeschreibung

“This timely and engaging book illuminates the history of overlooked girls and women in autism research, unpacking cutting-edge genetic and neuroscience findings alongside insights from autistic women and girls themselves. A vital call to action, it charts a bold path forward to revolutionize research, understanding, support, and outcomes for this unique population.” —Felicity Sedgewick, PhD, author of Autism and Masking   “Off the Spectrum shines a much-needed spotlight on the critical issue of autistic females being overlooked and misdiagnosed for far too long. This book is a powerful, well-researched exploration of how both science and the voices of lived experience must come together to bridge gaps in understanding. By weaving research with authentic perspectives from the community, Off the Spectrum offers a pathway toward ensuring that future generations of autistic women are recognized and supported—not left behind. It is an essential read for anyone who cares about fostering true inclusivity and understanding.” —Maureen Dunne, PhD, author of The Neurodiversity Edge
