I am an Aspie Girl: A book for young girls with autism spectrum conditions

I feel like this book was written specifically for my “aspie girl”. If you need a book to tell your child or those around her about ASD this is it! It is absolutely the best book I have seen about explaining autism in girls specifically!! My daughter keeps reading it over and over and hasn’t put it down since I gave it to her!!

This book is PERFECTION!! My 8-year-old daughter was just diagnosed with High Functioning Autism, and I had no idea how to tell her. I really wanted to make sure that we focused on the strengths, but that it also helped her understand why certain things are harder for her. We got this book today and I read it to her...this book could have been written about her specifically...it perfectly summed up what HFA means for young girls. It made the process of telling and explaining her diagnosis SO EASY!!! I recommend this book for ANYONE looking to tell their young lady about their diagnosis, or even to have other family members read to help them understand. She has placed it on a special place on the bookshelf, and says that she will re-read it any time she feels alone. THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS!!!!

Cute book about Aspergers for girls. My five-year-old daughter has been quoting from it when a situation reminds her of the book, like when loud noises bother her. I definitely recommend for parents taking an open and honest approach with their children from a young age. Only reason I gave four instead of five stars was because I would have preferred more specific examples in some cases.

I didn't know quite what was different about my daughter until she entered Kindergarten. This book helped me understand ways to help her feel better about her differences, to help her cope, to help others understand as well. It can help friends, teachers, caregivers understand and respond better.When I read it to her for the first time, indescribable JOY danced across her face because some of the pages were *so* HER. Aspergers, "Aspie", high functioning autistic -- finding the way to help your child unlock their potential -- that's what this book is to me. It's "the tip of the iceberg" and a good starting point.. I recommend it for anyone who cares for, teaches or loves an Aspie Girl.

This was an awesome book to read with my daughter after her diagnosis.

This book is a godsend. My 15-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger Profile. Most of the resources available are either a bit to old for her or geared towards the symptoms that boys exhibit. Even thought this is targeted towards a younger child, my daughter tends to be "young at heart" (as many Aspie girls are) and she found this book very relatable. She was able to appreciate both the illustrated story and the parents pages in the back. My daughter exhibits every single characteristic discussed in this book and after reading it, she really felt understood. We plan to use this book to help her grandparents and extended family understand her diagnosis. It's perfect for a layperson in that it is concise, comprehensive, and easy to understand.

My Aspie daughter identified with this straight away. All through the book she would say, oh I do that, or I am like that. She really loved the book and I think it really helps her. I really good way for an Aspie girl to be able to read about and identify themselves and know that others are like her too. I highly recommend this book for your daughter

An incredibly well written book that is a must have for any Aspie Girl and their family/friends.

After purchasing a number of books which explain ASD to children - we chose this one as the one to use when it came to telling our daughter about her diagnosis. She was able to recognise her own characteristics by the descriptions given and kept saying "that's like me!" It seemed to be very reassuring for her that there are also other girls out there like her, as her latest 'thing' and reason we decided to go ahead and tell her has been the constant questioning of "why am I so different to girls at school?"She found this book empowering rather than making her think anything was wrong with her, which is exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend. She doesn't actually have an Aspergers diagnosis, as the specialist in our area said they don't give those anymore but just say "on the ASD spectrum". Besides the book's title, this book is fine for someone like my daughter who is only diagnosed with high functioning Autism.

I got this book for my 8 year old with aspergers who is really struggling with life at the moment and after reading it she turned to me and said it all makes sense now. She took it into school and her teacher agreed the book was fantastic. The school has also ordered a copy to keep in school and show to other children and parents. This was by far the best thing I've ever read about aspergers and would recommend to anyone with a aspie girl

Lovely book to help girls understand. My daughter is 9 and very recently got her autism diagnosis and was struggling a great deal with it. This only got delivered today and I gave her it straight away and she could identify with everything. She is happier and more settled already! I would definitely recommend.

This book is so beautifully written and illustrated. The insight and understanding it provides into the differences in girls diagnosed with ASD are the best I have read. Thank you to the author and illustrator for writing this book, you are amazing and will help so many individuals not only girls and their families but many professionals too, as some of them have very limited views and knowledge surrounding ASD in young girls and the complex presentations of this condition.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. I was looking for a book to open a discussion with my daughter about ASD as over time we realised that she may be on the spectrum. When I read it to her she identified with the book and said ‘ that’s me!’. It has been a life changing moment and this book has since been read by the rest of her family and her closest friend and she has found it helpful to show them. The book is clear and informative in a positive way.
