Very insightful both as an autistic girl who has experienced those vulnerabilities and as a professional. So sad but so important to remember the additional vulnerabilities autistic people face.

Really interesting read! Highlighted lots of thing - so I definitely got a lot from it. Talked about aspects of autism, communication & accommodations that I haven’t seen spoken about it lots of books about autism I have read previously. The tone of the book was great and really enjoyable to read despite hard hitting topics

Such a good book! Very helpful insights and practical tools everyone can use. If everyone could apply these strategies the world will be a much better and safer place for autistic girls.
