This book investigates the experiences of seven women with autism transitioning from childhood to adulthood. It explores their common experiences and issues, and the diverse perspectives highlight how education, sexuality, career paths, and social networks impact the lives of women with autism.
This insightful book investigates the experiences of seven women with autism as they transition from childhood to adulthood, and how they make sense of that journey.
Taken from the autobiographies of women including Liane Holliday-Willey and Temple Grandin, these accounts shine a light on issues unique to women with autism. Heather Stone Wodis provides a detailed and thoughtful exploration of their common experiences, and each story offers a new perspective that illuminates the diagnosis from a different angle. This is a fascinating look at how generational differences, such as access to the internet, can provide more avenues toward self-expression, political mobilization, and advocacy. It also explores the idea that, no matter the era, the unyielding support of family and a diagnosis in childhood can help girls with autism transition toward adulthood.
