Girls Growing Up on the Autism Spectrum - What Parents and Professionals Should Know About the Pre-Teen and Teenage Years (Paperback)

Adolescence has been known as the "second crisis" for some families. Successful navigation of this emotionally complex time can be difficult, and for girls with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) the teenage years can be particularly challenging, as there are issues specific to them that have been very sparsely addressed in current resources, such as menstruation, puberty, safety and the complications of girls' friendships due to fears of loneliness and the lack of group inclusion. This book is the first resource for families to provide the key information they need to know to help their daughters ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the whole family ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? through adolescence. It puts topics into the context of typical development and addresses core issues of ASDs such as cognition, communication, behavior, sensory sensitivities and social difficulties, and provides information, practical teaching, intervention strategies and resources regarding topics specific to being a teenage girl with ASD.
