A Guide to Mental Health Issues in Girls and Young Women on the Autism Spectrum: Diagnosis, Intervention and Family Support

As the grandmother of a young woman with autism, and who has watched her family suffer from misdiagnosis, lack of knowledge and compassion on the part of the medical education and social services, I can say that this book is a beacon in a dark world, and will give understanding and comfort to both those with autism and their families,friends and teachers. Thank you so much, Dr Eaton!

A brilliantly written book cataloging the various co-morbid mental health conditions that go alongside autism in adolescent females, and also highlights some of the middiagnoses that prevent autism being recognised. Excellent, if poignant, reading for anyone who has autism, loves someone with autism or works with an autistic female. Factually accurate and written by a psychologist, it is accessible to lay people and references in each chapter offer threads to follow up from a clinical or deeper interest perspective.

I thought this book was an excellent read as a late dx autistic and mother to two autistic kids. I relate to the struggles to get our girls accurately assessed. I wish I'd have had this book when I was dealing with local services.

This is a good book with many insights into Autism but it’s main focus is mental health. It is a very clinical and academic book and is not a light read.

Amazing book if you want to learn more about females on the spectrum, great read fir professionals and parents, have lent this to many of the parents I work with.

This is a very clear book detailing mental health issues, useful to broaden knowledge base

Unbelievably helpful insight into my daughter Really good balance between in-depth information and accessibility for anyone to read

I Highly Recommend this book especially if you have a girl with extreme demand avoidance profile
