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
Dr Judy Eaton is a clinical psychologist. She has assessed and worked with many girls with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with mental health issues in both in- and out-patient settings. She lives in Norfolk, UK.
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.

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.
