![]() One final negative point: this book relies on a lot of pseudoscience, most particularly the last chapter about gastrointestinal problems. ![]() The romance section was entirely focused on male partners, and I wish she would have acknowledged in this chapter that some aspergirls aren't straight. ![]() Another subject I wish it had touched on was Queer aspergirls. It was touched on many times, but there was never a discussion dedicated to it, which I think is a shame because I know that is a common problem encountered by aspergirls. One area I think the book was lacking in was a discussion of social and/or generalized anxiety. I know I'm lucky not to have those problems and that they are problems for many aspergirls, so I'm glad she included them, but she should acknowledge in some way that those problems are not universal. ![]() She seems to say that all aspergirls have these problems, but you don't have to have those problems to be an asperrgirl. I have aspergers, but I don't get temper meltdowns or have depression. ![]() However, about halfway through it seems like the author stopped taking in as many perspectives, or something, because what she was talking about stopped being relevant to me. I thought the first half of this book was very good, showing how the core elements of aspergers manifest in daily life in different ways for different women and girls. ![]()
