Sarah Hendrickx Knihy

Focusing on the unique experiences of girls and women with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), this comprehensive guide covers their lives from childhood through aging. It delves into critical stages such as diagnosis, education, adolescence, and employment, while also addressing topics like sexuality, pregnancy, and motherhood. Designed for professionals and families, the book aims to provide valuable insights into the challenges and experiences faced by women on the spectrum throughout their lives.

Open, honest and upbeat, this book gives personal insight into both the ups and downs of an Asperger relationship. Seeking to challenge the bad press that people with Asperger Syndrome (AS) get as partners, Sarah and Keith tell their story of how they are making it work - and also how they got it wrong - with disarming frankness and humour.

This is a handy first-reference point guide to the full range of developmental conditions as they affect adolescents and adults. A wide range of conditions are covered, including Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, OCD, Tourette's and Anxiety Disorders.

Looking at expectations, motivations, working conditions and more, Hendrickx explores the reasons why work doesn't work for many people with Asperger Syndrome and how to resolve these issues. Featuring personal stories from those with AS, the book highlights successful scenarios and provides suggestions for employers and those in search of work.

A cradle-to-grave guide to female autistic experience combining personal accounts with academic research, with chapters on childhood, education, employment, healthcare, gender identity and ageing.
