Coping with disability; Self-help & personal development

Autistic girls can be frequently misunderstood, underestimated and therefore anxious in a school environment. This practical book offers an innovative life skills curriculum for autistic girls aged 11 to 15, based on the author's successful workshops and training, which show how to support girls' wellbeing and boost their self-esteem.

Including an adapted PSHE curriculum, this is a straightforward guide to educating autistic children on the issues that matter most to them. It covers all essential areas of wellbeing, including communication, identity, self-regulation and triggers, safety, and physical and mental health, and offers the reader strategies to help the autistic girls in their lives enhance and develop these.

Reviews for Supporting Spectacular Girls: A Practical Guide to Developing Autistic Girls' Wellbeing and Self-Esteem

Helen's lived, parental and professional experiences give depth and breadth to this welcome addition to the literature around young autistic women. Her knowledge, insight and empathy scaffold and compliment the practical content. This book will undoubtedly contribute to our young women no longer being misunderstood but understood. -- Fiona Fisher Bullivant, Advanced Nurse Practitioner & Lecturer
