Lizzie is an Aspie Girl - she has Asperger's Syndrome, which means that her brain works differently to her friends, and even to boys with Asperger Syndrome. In this book, Lizzie explains what it's like to be an Aspie Girl, including how she has a special talent for blending in with her friends, how she gets really tired after being at school all day, how she worries about making mistakes, and how she finds it hard to understand how she is feeling. By simply, clearly and positively explaining the social differences associated with Asperger's Syndrome, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, in young girls, this book will help Aspie Girls aged 5 years and over to understand their diagnosis, recognise their unique strengths and celebrate their differences, and find ways of coping with difficulties. This positive and celebratory book also contains helpful discussion points for parents and professionals to explore further with the girls in their care.

Autism spectrum disorders are developmental disorders. Individuals with autism spectrum disorders develop differently. These differences are usually present in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing, and become visible through a wide variety of behavioral responses that differ from individuals without autism spectrum disorders. Despite significant research efforts, the exact causes of autism spectrum disorders remain poorly understood; however, researchers have gained extensive insights into possible pathomechanisms, even at the molecular level of cells. Many diagnostic criteria have been developed, adapted, and improved. The eight chapters in this book highlight the current state-of-the-art in many areas of autism spectrum disorders. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the epidemiology of autism spectrum disorders and the current knowledge of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Chapter 2 summarizes the diagnostic criteria and procedures and highlights present and upcoming therapeutic strategies. Chapter 3 reviews the adverse events and trauma in people with autism spectrum disorders. Chapters 4 and 5 focus on atypical sensory processing, and Chapter 6 discusses the genetic overlap of autism spectrum disorders with other neuropsychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and schizophrenia. Chapter 7 focuses on the contribution of abnormalities in mitochondria, and chapter 8 discusses gut-brain interactions and a potential role for microbiota in autism spectrum disorders. This book is aimed primarily at clinicians and scientists, but many areas will also be of interest to the layperson.

Is it possible that you, your child, or someone you love might have Asperger's Syndrome? Do they call it "Asperger's Syndrome" or is it, technically, "Autism Spectrum Disorder"? I'm going to give you my guide, some tools, and some positive practices for living a fulfilled life as an Autistic Adult and give you some tips on how to recognize autism in yourself or others. Autism is nothing to be ashamed of. If this book has been suggested to you, understand I have accomplished a great deal in my life because of this "faulty-wiring" in my brain. I am quite proud of these tendencies I have to over-work while not needing much sleep or food. I feel superhuman with my ability to dive deeply into my special interests and I don't feel the need for validation from the crowd. I also tend to struggle with personal relationships, co-workers, and daily tasks that others take for granted. I went undiagnosed and misunderstood for 33 years not knowing I was autistic. The awareness I now have gives me the perspective I have needed my whole life to say "I am different and that is okay." I struggle with things others find easy and find I am gifted in ways that others struggle. Now I know that my "executive functioning skills" differ from other people and that "sensory processing disorder" is what keeps me overwhelmed in loud restaurants or in family get-togethers. This understanding lets me know I am different, not wrong. This gives me the opportunity to be understood. Something I have craved my entire life. I have been told in a complementary tone; "You don't look autistic." To which I want to respond with a snarky quip but instead I ask "what does autism look like to you?" My guess is that autism looks like a eight-to-twelve year old Caucasian boy rocking on a carpet. While part of this might be true, this is only who has been diagnosed in the current system with old broken rules helping us to navigate the murky waters of understanding. After all, what happens to all those weird kids when they grow up? Do they suddenly stop being autistic?I am a writer, a USMC Veteran, and a Realtor. I have a family line of intelligent and introverted "odd-ducks" which I trace back to my grandpa, also a veteran. A quiet man, who worked for years in his home office, after retiring from IBM in the Silicon Valley. His home is where my mom brought me up with him and my grandmother who described me, lovingly, as such a "curious little guy". This book was written for the undiagnosed, or recently diagnosed adult, hoping to add a little order into the disorder. I wanted to have some fun, so I won't quote the DSM... not even on accident. I will, however, quote TED talks, YouTube Videos, and blogs.This shouldn't feel like a depressing sludge through the mush, if it does I didn't do my job. This should feel like coming home without all the stress of actually having to go home! Thousands and thousands of years of humans have evolved to make you. How could you possibly be a mistake? My wife loves me like crazy and I love her. She is neurotypical and I am autistic. I would have had a terribly difficult time getting to know me, these past few years, without her love and patience. I am understood. What more could an Aspie ask for? I still don't understand all of these weird human beings I live here with, completely, or their primal relationships, but I enjoy them more and more every day that I am lucky enough to get to know them a little better while spending my time here on earth. I wish for you love and understanding and maybe a good laugh or two! Welcome home.

Have you ever wondered why she says she feels different to her peers? Wondered why life seems challenging for her? Her peers seem to gracefully and naturally meet their milestones, yet she has reached some developmental milestones early and some late. She may have spoken and read early, asking an endless array of questions. Maybe at age four she was teaching herself to read as you drove down the road by reading street signs. She may have been an overly active child, had sensory issues, or had a speech delay. You knew she was bright from early on, with a sprinkle of some anxiety, social and eating issues, yet the professionals just cannot find an explanation that completely fits her. She may be very artistic, whether she sings, draws, paints, or writes, at times, too mature for her age. Yet, she struggles socially and emotionally, acting and appearing younger than her peers. She may be ten years old now, yet none of your research completely fits her or maybe you have just now come across some information on females that completely makes sense to you. Maybe she is "Aspien," a young female with Asperger Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism. She has a unique constellation of super-abilities, strengths and challenges. She may feel or say that she is from another Planet, Planet Aspien(r). If you are looking for a book on the often perplexing and unique female Autism Spectrum traits, then this is the book for you. Watch for "I am AspienWoman," coming soon.

Why am I wired so differently? Adults that have been undiagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have mild symptoms. This was previously called Aspergers Syndrome but is now called ASD. They can struggle with social interactions and sensory overload but remain unaware. However, having some symptoms doesn't mean you have ASD but the only way to find out is through an ASD assessment. This book explains the process of autism diagnosis, answering the questions that follow: What is Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD)? What does an ASD assessment entail? Should I tell my doctor? Should I share this with my friends and family? What do I do once I'm diagnosed? What's the best way to cope with the emotional impact of the diagnosis? How can I thrive and add value to the world? And much more. All the above questions are answered in this book, through a former patients personal account, after being diagnosed with autism. Containing humorous anecdotes and stories, this book provides an alternative perspective of looking at Autism Spectrum Disorder. This book also contains: Practical Strategies to Reduce Stress and Maximize Progress. Tactics to Assess Everyday Thoughts and Patterns That Are Disruptive. Roadmaps and Mindsets To Navigate Daily Life. Strategies for Improving Communication, Social Skills and Making Friends. The experiences in this book highlight the reflections of a man coming to peace with his diagnosis and how this was his path to serenity. This book is a guide for adults who thinking about getting an ASD assessment or for a friend or family member who wants knowledge of the process before and after diagnosis.

Sofie Koborg Brøsen is eleven years old and, like other children of her age, goes to a mainstream school, loves reading comics and being with her family and her cat, Teddy. But Sofie is not the same as everyone else - she has autism spectrum disorder. Fed up with being misunderstood by her classmates, she has written a book about her world so others can learn to understand her, and vice versa. Sofie describes her day-to-day life in clear, unambiguous language and tells readers about things she finds difficult: being given too many instructions, disruptions to her routine, being teased, strong lights and smells and too much noise. She also tells about what she really likes - feeling accepted by other children, reading, nature, her autism camp and her cat. This fully illustrated book has already attracted much positive attention in Denmark. It is a readable insider's view of life as a child with autism attending a mainstream school and will be an invaluable resource in helping other children to understand their classmates with autism spectrum disorders. Teachers, parents, carers, support workers, children with autism spectrum disorders and their classmates will find this an entertaining, informative and attitude-changing read.
