Many people think only men can be autistic. And if women are autistic, they're certainly nothing like you and I. They must be social freaks and misfits, unable to feel, show emotions or care about others. But women on the spectrum are something completely different. They can be accomplished, highly intelligent and sensitive. When life goes against them, they pull themselves together and continue, and they fight their way through more obstacles than most. But it doesn't mean everything comes easy to us. Autism is a complex genetical difference that affects how our brains are wired and how we experience the world. Did you, for example, know that many autistic women have a completely different sensory experience than neurotypicals? And that many of us have the ability to physically feel music or hear colours.We have extreme, but uneven abilities. Did you know that some of us have a perfect pitch? And that autistic people are better at analysing and remembering melodies? We also have better rote memory and extreme attention to detail. As kids, we also have a stronger drive to solve analytical problems, which can explain why so many of us excel in research and academic subjects.We're also social chameleons who spend much of our time and focus on trying to decipher social rules and constructs to be able to fit in. This can be exhausting, resulting in autistic burnout for some of us. We're masking our true selves to fit in with the neurotypical world. It means that we often fly under the radar and go undiagnosed for too long. This behaviour even has a name. It's called masking and is common amongst both autistic women and men, but far more frequent amongst women.And our abilities and differences are widely unknown. Even to ourselves and our relatives. And the medical community hasn't come far at researching the autistic experience from a woman's point of view.This is one of the reasons I chose to write the book "Finding Your Autistic Superpower" after I received my official autism diagnosis at age 30. It was the book I wanted to read myself to get to know my strengths and weaknesses. Backed up by both research and a multitude of personal examples.In Christine Lion's book, you will be able to read about the following: -What autism is and how it's different for women-How we interact with others in a different way and don't always pick up on neurotypical cues-Why we have such strong attention to detail and why we refuse to change our environments-How sensory sensitivity can sometimes be a huge constraint but also a superpower-Why we stim and why you think you don't do it yourself-What we can do to improve executive functioning-How our special interests make us able to hyperfocus-Why meltdowns are a thing also for adults-Why lack of empathy isn't such a big deal-What you can do to get through school and work and how you can use your strengths in both-How our relationships and sexuality can be different-Why women on the spectrum are much more likely to suffer from sexual abuse-How to go through the process of getting diagnosedYou will find all of this along with real and personal examples from a woman who has grown up on the spectrum and been through both the good and the bad. At the end of each chapter, you will also find work examples to get to know yourself better. But the most important thing you will get is a view on autism and Asperger's that doesn't try to hide anything.Autism might not give you the ability to fly or move through walls. But it does give you an entirely new perspective on the world we live in, and the moment you accept that, you will be closer to accepting yourself or your autistic friends and family.This book is primarily written for autistic women and girls, but our friends and relatives should also be encouraged to read it. As should healthcare professionals and anyone who has our best interests in mind.

Finding Your Superpowers: A Guide for People on the Autism Spectrum intentionally mimics and uses popular images of superheroes. The book is a quick read with a fun and approachable format for a wide age range. The author has extensively interviewed families and experts, including talking/consulting directly with adults on the spectrum. The author has included examples, stories from individuals and families, as well as resources and further information resources in the text. At the end of each chapter the reader is invited to note their discoveries. Additionally, the focus of this book is on discovering and nurturing the strengths, personal traits and focused interests people on the spectrum bring to their world over their life span. Through their individual strengths, many people on the spectrum can experience a positive and fulfilling life. The systems that surround neurodiverse people put more emphasis on the person's "deficits" and/or "developmental delays" than affirming differences--often feeding low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. This book is a guide to engaging or challenging these systems, and nurture each person's "superpowers". It is hard, but attainable.

This fill-in workbook is for parents and carers of children with autism. Great as a companion for keeping track of weekly sensory activities, appointments, meetings, social and speech goals, your thoughts or weekly reflections about how things are progressing with appointments, daily activities, as well as books you plan to read together. It is more or less a planner and fun way of tracking your weekly activities with your child. There are pages dedicated to recording social skills, communication and speech skills as well as sensory goals. Sometimes keeping track of appointments as well as catering for your child's needs can be a challenge and you're susceptible to be missing important meetings or finding out rather late in the day. There are pages dedicated to recording your future appointments in this 20-week organizer to help record and plan for future meetings about your child. Keeping detailed activities record and notes, meetings, and appointments about your autistic child today also serves as documentation to refer to in the future or share with phycologists, teachers, caregivers, or therapists. If you want to keep track of achievements and milestones, this is also catered for in this handy workbook. There is a section for that as well as pages to record the highlights of the week and challenges you observed.
