Written by Rudy Simone, herself on the spectrum, Aspergirls draws on interviews with over 35 autistic women — plus partners and parents — to explore what growing up and living as a female Aspie really looks like. From early misdiagnoses and masking to friendships, romance, career, and meltdowns, it’s part memoir, part field guide, offering validation and practical advice for a group long overlooked by autism research.
