Blurb: Girls with Asperger’s Syndrome are less frequently diagnosed than boys, & even once symptoms have been recognized, help is often not readily available. The image of coping well presented by AS females can often mask difficulties, deficits, challenges, & loneliness.

Review: This was such a mixed book, part memoir, part not. I really wanted to love it as the first few chapters left me feeling really excited, but it seemed to lose its way part way through.

I wasn’t sure who this book was aimed at. At the end of each chapter, the book had a section for ‘aspergirls’ and another for parents. These bits of advice seemed quite preachy and unnecessary. As far as being for someone who is late diagnosed, much of the advice seemed to miss the mark.

This was book was just OK. It was an easy read, however took me a while as it lost me part way through.
