Girls Growing Up on the Autism Spectrum

Girls growing up on the autism spectrum: what parents and professionals should know about the pre-teen and teenage years is a book by Shana Nichols (PHD), Gina Moravcik (MA, CCC-SLP), and Samara Pulver Tetenbaum (MA) targeted towards caretakers of girls on the cusp of adolescence. The book covers issues all teenagers deal with--the onset of puberty, body image and fashion consciousness, sexual education, personal safety and health, bulling--and how girls with ASDs can adjust. Each chapter contains personal stories from girls and parents and culminates with a list of suggested reading.
