I have been teaching students on the autistic spectrum for over a
decade now and I am energised to think that I can use these books
in a comprehensive manner in my class, encourage parents to utilise
this material in a comfortable and comforting way at home, and I am
massively delighted to believe that students themselves will be
able to access, follow and actually use these books! A huge step
forward!

This beautifully illustrated book about puberty in girls is aimed
specifically at young people on the autistic spectrum, but much of
the information will be very useful to any young person beginning
to sense that she is growing up. The information is precise and
detailed, and the format of the book means that it is written and
published in a style that is clear and uncluttered...the emphasis
is on things that those on the autistic spectrum might find
difficult to understand, such as the term 'puppy fat' and what it
actually means, or that following someone around that one has a
crush on is not a good idea. The book is very well produced and
attractive to hold and read.
