This book addresses the specific mental health needs of girls and young women with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Looking at the ways autism presents differently in girls than in boys, and the mental health conditions that occur most frequently in girls with ASD, this is the essential guide for clinicians and educators on tailoring interventions and support to meet girls' needs.

Describing the current assessment process for autism diagnosis, the book explains why girls are under- or mis-diagnosed, leading to later mental health issues. It outlines the types of intervention that are particularly helpful for working with girls to reduce anxiety, improve social interaction skills, and manage self-harm. The book also covers how to manage eating disorders and feeding difficulties, focusing on working with girls with sensory processing difficulties. There is advice on how to deal with the emotional impact on parents, carers and families, and the challenges they face when negotiating appropriate psychological and educational support.

Product description

Review

This book provides an excellent synthesis of research, diagnostic frameworks and personal perspectives of girls and their families written in a very accessible style. I would recommend it to anyone working with or living with girls and young women on the autism spectrum. -- Ruth Fidler, Education Consultant, Autism Associates

The author shines a light on the less well-understood or more complex presentations of autism, including pathological demand avoidance, in this insightful, compassionate and practical book. Combining the latest research, years of direct clinical experience and detailed individual stories, this much-needed book will be invaluable for families and professionals. -- Trustees of the PDA Society

An excellent book by a knowledgeable author. It is easy to read and understand, and answered many of the questions I had about autism spectrum disorders. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about this topic. -- Dr Olumide Kuti, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, The Huntercombe Hospital Norwich

Book Description

The first book to look specifically at how mental health issues relate to girls and young women with autism, covering theory, research and tailored interventions for support

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must read' for anyone with a loved one or client on the autistic spectrum.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2017

A brilliantly written book cataloging the various co-morbid mental health conditions that go alongside autism in adolescent females, and also highlights some of the middiagnoses that prevent autism being recognised. Excellent, if poignant, reading for anyone who has autism, loves someone with autism or works with an autistic female. Factually accurate and written by a psychologist, it is accessible to lay people and references in each chapter offer threads to follow up from a clinical or deeper interest perspective.

This is a good book with many insights into Autism but it’s main focus is mental health. It is a very clinical and academic book and is not a light read.

As the grandmother of a young woman with autism, and who has watched her family suffer from misdiagnosis, lack of knowledge and compassion on the part of the medical education and social services, I can say that this book is a beacon in a dark world, and will give understanding and comfort to both those with autism and their families,friends and teachers. Thank you so much, Dr Eaton!

I thought this book was an excellent read as a late dx autistic and mother to two autistic kids. I relate to the struggles to get our girls accurately assessed. I wish I'd have had this book when I was dealing with local services.
