I found this book really good.It is very informative, and gives lots of good advice, as well as ideas on how to tackle different problems. I find that I like to keep picking it up and reading bits of it for ideas. It is a book I would recommend for its' mine of information to help make the life of any female with Asperger's and their relatives more rewarding.

I bought this book when my daughter was in the process of being diagnosed with aspergers. It is a a fantastic book although it is more geared for teenage girls and upwards. I will definately be using the book in a few years time but in the meantime I have bought Aspergers for parents bythe same author and that book is fantastic.

It's high time a book about girls with Asperger's joined the growing plethora of autism/Asperger's (a/A) literature. This is an excellent book that discusses a previously overlooked population, girls on the spectrum. "Women From Another Planet: Our Lives in the Universe of Autism" is the ideal companion book to this one as it is a compilation of essays by and about women who are on the spectrum.
How I wish I had this book when I was a tween! It is very enlightening and empowering. Drs. Attwood and Grandin offer their input and I raise my glass to Dr. Attwood for removing the stigma from autism. I think his words of wisdom deserve a place of high honor among a/A and NT (neurotypical) alike. Hats off to Dr. Attwood!
This brilliant and sorely needed work illustrates the social challenges girls with Asperger's face; it offers a nonjudgmental look at how Asperger's behavior is often mistinterpreted by the NT world. Authors McIlwee and Iland are personally involved with Asperger's; McIlwee has Asperger's and Iland's brother and some of her friends are on the spectrum. Hats off to these women for describing the challenges girls with Asperger's face and for speaking to tolerance and the rationale for behaviors that most of the NT world condemns.
This book will take all readers through the emotional spectrum; you will run the gamut from anger; tears; laughter; surprise and hope. Hope is the silver thread that runs throughout this book and is what connects every passage. That silver thread is really a common thread that links all individuals, a/A and NT alike. This book is the voice of reason and hope. We need this book!

DISAPPOINTED
Very Sad as this book was not what I expected. It is too clinical and not an easy read. It is informative but I was told originally it was more like a story. Read more

Rubbish
This book is more about advice on how to "fit in". I don't reccomend this for those with AS wishing to learn more about themselves. Look elsewhere

After reading the section by Ruth Snyder on Maternal Instincts in Asperger's Syndrome. It was clear to me that she's a victim of abuse/ neglect and does not have autism! Read more
