This book examines autism characteristics that may be different than expected (atypical), primarily found in females, but also in others and are likely to be missed or misdiagnosed when identification and support are needed. It follows a lifespan framework, guiding readers through comprehensive assessment processes at any age. The book integrates interpretations of standardized measures, information from scientific literature, and context from first-person accounts to provide a more nuanced and sensitive approach to assessment. It addresses implications for improved treatment and supports based on comprehensive assessment processes and includes case studies within each age range to consolidate and illustrate assessment processes. Key areas of coverage include: Interdisciplinary assessment processes, including psychology, speech and language pathology, education, and health care disciplines. Lifespan approach to comprehensive assessment of autism in females/atypical autism. Guide to interpretation of standardized measures in females/atypical autism. Additional assessment tools and processes to provide diagnostic clarity. Descriptions of barriers in diagnostic processes from first-person accounts. Intervention and support strategies tied to assessment data. In-depth explanations of evidence and at-a-glance summaries. Assessment of Autism in Females and Nuanced Presentations is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, practitioners, and policymakers in developmental and clinical psychology, speech language pathology, medicine, education, social work, mental health, and all interrelated disciplines.

This book investigates the impact of the mediation of menstruation and menstrual activism on young people’s knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and interpersonal relationships. Since 2015, the menstrual movement has become increasingly visible on social media and in news media from across the globe. In Great Britain, the menstrual movement brings together a diverse group of activists who aim to reduce menstrual stigma and tackle menstrual inequities. By combining original interviews with 32 menstrual activists and focus groups with 77 young people (including women, men, and non-binary teenagers), this book offers an in-depth exploration of this movement and its impact. This book argues that menstrual stigma has decreased, awareness around related health and social issues has increased, and girls as well as other menstruating young people are feeling an increased sense of connection and solidarity with each other. Menstruation is shifting from a very private experience to one of collective concern. It is evident that social media, and, to some extent, news media, have played a key role in disseminating the discourses and aims of menstrual activists that have engendered some of these changes. Nevertheless, this book also examines how the media have negatively impacted young people and identifies further changes that are necessary for the achievement of gender equality. This book makes a significant contribution not only to the fields of health communication, feminism, social movement studies, and critical menstruation studies, but also provides evidence and recommendations that will be of interest to NGOs, advocacy groups, policymakers, schools, workplaces, and medical professionals. This is an open access book.

Com coordenação editorial do renomado médico Dr. Thiago Castro e Lygia Pereira, o livro busca preencher uma lacuna significativa no entendimento do autismo entre meninas e mulheres. Até a data presente, estatísticas revelam que o transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) é diagnosticado com maior frequência em pessoas do sexo masculino. Uma explicação sugerida é o "efeito protetor feminino", uma característica inerente às mulheres que poderia atenuar a manifestação dos traços autísticos. No entanto, as evidências indicam que o subdiagnóstico em meninas e mulheres pode ter outras causas. As diferenças naturais no desenvolvimento entre os sexos fazem com que o TEA se manifeste de maneira distinta em meninas. Além disso, expectativas culturais de gênero podem desviar o raciocínio clínico, aumentando o risco de diagnósticos errôneos antes de uma identificação precisa do autismo em mulheres. Por essas e outras razões, a avaliação do TEA em indivíduos do sexo feminino requer especialização e cuidado. Com a colaboração de mais de 40 autores, incluindo especialistas e indivíduos com TEA, a obra oferece uma visão abrangente e detalhada da expressão feminina do autismo. "Espectro Autista Feminino" explora detalhadamente os principais temas e desafios enfrentados por meninas e mulheres no espectro autista. Entre os tópicos abordados estão a epidemiologia do autismo no sexo feminino, superando obstáculos para um diagnóstico precoce, a importância da avaliação neuropsicológica e o impacto da genética. O livro também discute a fisiologia e imunologia do autismo feminino, a importância do sono e do eixo intestino-cérebro no neurodesenvolvimento, além das estratégias de camuflagem e a jornada das mulheres autistas na sociedade, escola e no mercado de trabalho. Outras áreas incluem a cognição social, comorbidades prevalentes, o impacto hormonal, a construção da feminilidade, e os desafios da maternidade e menopausa. Cada capítulo oferece insights baseados em evidências científicas e práticas clínicas, fornecendo uma visão abrangente e sensível sobre o universo das mulheres autistas.

'A truly fascinating must-read' – Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell Women 'Powerful and well-researched. The Lost Girls of Autism shines a much-needed spotlight on a critical issue' – Dr Maureen Dunne, author of The Neurodiversity Edge The history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight. When autistic girls meet clinicians, they are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, personality disorders – or receive no diagnosis at all. Autism’s ‘male spotlight’ means we are only now starting to redress this profound injustice. In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women. But it is now becoming increasingly clear that many autistic women and girls do not fit the traditional, male, model of autism. Instead, they camouflage and mask, hiding their autistic traits to accommodate a society that shuns them. Urgent and insightful, this is a searching examination of how sexism has biased our understanding of autism. Informed by the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, The Lost Girls of Autism is a clarion call for society to recognize the full spectrum of autistic experience.

The difference that being female makes to the diagnosis, life and experiences of a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has largely gone unresearched and unreported until recently. In this book Sarah Hendrickx has collected both academic research and personal stories about girls and women on the autism spectrum to present a picture of their feelings, thoughts and experiences at each stage of their lives. Outlining how autism presents differently and can hide itself in females and what the likely impact will be for them throughout their lifespan, the book looks at how females with ASD experience diagnosis, childhood, education, adolescence, friendships, sexuality, employment, pregnancy and parenting, and aging. It will provide invaluable guidance for the professionals who support these girls and women and it will offer women with autism a guiding light in interpreting and understanding their own life experiences through the experiences of others.
