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

By Danuta Bulhak-Paterson.  Illustrated by Teresa Ferguson

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’s Syndrome.  In this book, Lizzie explains what it’s really 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 simple, 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 five years and over to understand their diagnosis, recognise their unique strengths and celebrate their differences, and find ways of coping with difficulties.

Danuta Balhak-Paterson is a Clinical Psychologist and Director at Unique U Psychology Clinic, a specialist clinic for girls and women with autism spectrum conditions in Melbourne, Australia.  She has over 15 years’ experience of working with people of all ages with autism spectrum conditions.
