Description & Specifications

This book addresses the specific mental health needs of girls and young women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It examines how autism manifests differently in girls compared to boys, as well as the mental health conditions that are more commonly found in girls with ASD. It is an essential guide for clinicians and educators regarding the adaptation of interventions and support to meet the needs of girls.

The book describes the assessment process for diagnosing autism, explaining why girls are underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, leading to subsequent mental health issues. It presents the types of interventions that are particularly useful for working with girls, aiming to reduce anxiety, improve social skills, and manage self-injurious behavior. The book also includes ways to manage eating disorders and feeding difficulties, focusing on collaborating with girls who have difficulties in sensory processing.

Advice is given on addressing the emotional impact on parents, caregivers, and families, as well as the challenges they face in negotiating appropriate psychological and educational support.
