Book Description
'This book is not only reassuring; it is inspiring, and bursting with ideas and achievable strategies. The authors write with authority and conviction, and tackle even the most difficult and delicate of topics. If ever you needed to be convinced that girls with ASD can overcome the difficulties and challenges of puberty and adolescence, have successful friendships and relationships and enjoy a healthy sexuality, then take the time to read this book - it is a must-have for families, teachers and therapists alike.' -Sarah Attwood, author of Making Sense of Sex: A Forthright Guide to Puberty, Sex and Relationships for People with Asperger's Syndrome Growing up isn't easy, and the trials and tribulations of being a teenager can be particularly confusing for girls with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). This book covers all the concerns commonly faced by girls with ASDs and their parents, from periods and puberty to worries over friendships and 'fitting in'. Taking a good look at these adolescent issues, and many more, within the context of specific areas of difficulty for girls with ASDs, the authors provide families with the knowledge and advice they need to help their daughters - and the whole family - through the teenage years. This book addresses core issues such as cognition, communication, behavior, sensory sensitivities, and social difficulties; it gives candid and realistic advice on a wide range of important teenage topics. Providing professional perspectives alongside personal experiences from mothers, daughters and educators, this is a unique and indispensible guide for families and their daughters with ASDs, as well as the teachers and professionals who work with them.

Book Description
Womankind. In only the human species do you find so many quirks and rituals of the female that so confuse the opposite sex! This is why popular author Jan King takes on the Herculean task of explaining the many mind-boggling idiosyncrasies of female behavior. It's a Girl Thing provides a hysterical analysis of the inherent peculiarities and eccentric mannerisms of women everywhere. Discover the secret reasons why women are drawn to teary movies, overpack for trips, change hair color weekly, and spend thousands on Tupperware. Along with "Jan's Rules for the Bagging and Feeding of Any Conscious Male in Today's Market," you'll find her dissertations on lipstick ("One thing that can be predicted with absolute certainty is that there is virtually no chance of a woman having just one tube of lipstick on her vanity table"), underwear ("Personally, I hate the idea of a thong. For Pete's sake, I've spent my whole life pulling my underwear out of there!"), and many more. A must-have for every woman, It's a Girl Thing is one of those special books husbands will want to read as well (secretly, of course) in their quest to understand why ladies insist on owning hundreds of bottles of nail polish.
