This is an accessible and brief study of a less frequently discussed aspect of the condition; whether it is a "guide" is another matter, but its strengths lie in the case studies and quoted extracts provided by girls and women with autism. From that perspective, it is likely to provide invaluable information and considerable comfort to those with autism and their families, a resource for medical and other professionals, and an insight for general readers.
Karen McKibbin displays an understanding and connection with the condition that is rare in the everyday professional as she introduces each new subject area with a case study, proving the relevance and necessity of the discussion that follows. At every juncture, McKibbin employs the words of girls and women with autism as a method to examine the condition from our perspective and she does so very successfully. The book is clearly structured for a reader with autism, each chapter standing alone and with suggested measures and separate advice for young people and adults.
