A neurodivergent's guide to embracing your true self and finding your happily ever after. Growing up, Chloé Hayden felt like she'd crash-landed on an alien planet where nothing made sense. Eye contact? Small talk? And why are you people so touch-oriented? She moved between 10 schools in 8 years, struggling to become a person she believed society would accept, and was eventually diagnosed with autism and ADHD. When a life-changing group of allies showed her that different did not mean less, she learned to celebrate her true voice and find her happily ever after.

If you were ever a teenage girl - or if you’ve even known a teenage girl - you may know it’s a difficult time, often riddled with insecurities, anxiety, and depression. And while adolescent boys often face similar emotions, research shows that females are more likely to be predisposed to depression. Over the course of 10 lessons, Dr. Karen Bluth offers a solution: self-compassion. She explores why self-compassion is a good thing - a resource that people can learn, put in their toolbox, and use whenever they have a challenging day or even a challenging moment.

Kulturell wird von jungen Mädchen erwartet, dass sie intelligent, gesellig und gut erzogen sind. Aber was passiert, wenn sie Symptome von ADHS zeigen und soziale Schwierigkeiten und Lernprobleme haben? ADHS ist traditionell als "Jungenkrankheit" bekannt, und deshalb wird die Diagnose bei Jungen dreimal häufiger gestellt als bei Mädchen. Die Forschung zeigt jedoch, dass das Verhältnis von erwachsenen Männern und Frauen mit ADHS fast 1:1 ist. Also, warum bekommen junge Mädchen nicht die gleiche medizinische Aufmerksamkeit wie Jungen?

You need to hear the bad news first: the results of STEM outreach to girls haven’t improved in twenty years. The good news? This book will tell you why, and how to fix it. Currently, dated narratives push girls away in fear, and blind spots result in missed opportunities to pull them in. While efforts to increase diversity in science and mathematics have succeeded, outreach has largely ignored engineering—where there is still only one woman for every five men. This is especially troubling because engineering offers vastly more jobs than other STEM fields.

Unlike your redneck uncle, ADHD does not discriminate. It only appears that it does because the boys are the ones getting handed out diagnoses like funnel cakes at the county fair. Girls with ADHD are daydreaming out the window, their attention caught by a passing butterfly. Their brand of ADHD is creating turtle ballets while a teacher drones on about the rules of subtraction. These girls are armchair diagnosed as "lazy, slow, odd, daydreamer, anxiety riddled, etc."

Recognizing Autism in Women & Girls provides the perspective needed to see how autism manifests in gendered ways allowing for a more accurate diagnosis. In addition to describing each point in the diagnostic manual to include feminine presentations, Dr. Marsh has created “Five Fictional Female Figures” who've been misdiagnosed because they also display symptoms of other similar conditions. She describes their behaviors, both obvious and hidden, from early childhood to adulthood, and demonstrates how these behaviors meet diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder.
