"This is an extremely useful and informative book which looks at Asperger's and autism in females. It is written by an experienced, senior advisory teacher who has autism herself. It is a fascinating read, with case studies, personal experiences, educational and life advice and includes practical suggestions for understanding and intervention. It also contains photocopiable worksheets / activities and online access to printed resources. The book covers both personal and school strategies progressing from the primary school years through to further and higher education and is easy to read for planning. It contains very useful advice in the "Ideas for Schools" suggestion boxes and the case studies / fact sheets are enlightening for 'neurotypicals'. The book would make a good resource for all those involved in educational roles, including undergraduate students. The final section on preparing for examinations, wider school life and preparing for employment or college / university would also be useful for parents.

In my opinion this book should be on every SENCo's bookshelf and made available to all class teachers in every school!" -- Janet Oostendorp, member of nasen Advisory Panel, Specialist SpLD Teacher and PhD student (from nasen Connect) "This book offers multiple insights. For example, offering a quiet place for any student to read a book during breaks can help them to normalise preferences, rather than setting children up for rejection by insisting that they go and play."-- Joseph Lee, TES e final section on preparing for examinations, wider school life and preparing for employment or college / university would also be useful for parents.
