Female Autism

Discover the fascinating and silent universe of female autism in this comprehensive and enlightening book. Based on our experience gained over decades in supporting women on the autism spectrum, this work offers a deep and insightful view of the challenges and achievements of autistic women.

The knowledge and experience accumulated over the years allows us to share information that is essential to understanding the mechanics of how the world of autistic women works.

We have witnessed the damage caused by a lack of knowledge, both for autistic women themselves and for society in general. Ignorance is an open door to discrimination, injustice and stigmatization. The practice of segregation and discrimination deprives society of the valuable contributions of these unique people who reside on the autism spectrum.

Within this universe, we find extraordinary individuals who left indelible marks on history: renowned scientists, great artists, influential statesmen, brilliant thinkers and people of great genius. It is true that not all autistic people have exceptional talents, but they are all human beings worthy of respect and appreciation.

Information is the key to promoting knowledge, which in turn leads to teaching, education and the ability to transform a fearful society into a participatory and empathetic society with the autistic cause. Solid and healthy information prepares those who live in this peculiar universe, relieving the weight of the lack of understanding, fear and lack of perspective that permeate their lives.

The importance of this book lies in its ability to fill a significant gap in the literature on autism by giving voice to the unique and often overlooked experiences of autistic women. While much of the knowledge about autism focuses on male experiences, this work highlights the complexity and diversity of female autistic experiences, offering valuable insights for professionals, families, and women on the spectrum themselves.

Exploring a wide range of topics, from diagnostic challenges to the impact of autism on everyday life, this book provides an in-depth understanding of the issues facing autistic women. Additionally, it offers practical guidance and strategies to address these challenges, empowering autistic women to confidently navigate a world that does not always understand them.
