Reviews

  • ‘The book is such a hit. After reading it, two girls in different year groups began sharing their experiences’

    — Primary Senco

  • ‘This is a great book written for autistic girls-being truly seen and understood doesn’t just comfort a child, it shapes how they see themselves. In that space of recognition, children begin to feel safe, valued and whole, and that changes everything.’

    — Therapist

  • ‘This book is brilliant. So much information out there is about boys with autism and there is much less information about girls. This book fills that gap brilliantly, with practical advice and appealing illustrations. Absolutely indispensable!’

    — Dr Hainsworth, SEND Advisor

  • We absolutely love this book! It’s written in a clear and concise way that has allowed my daughter to access it independently. It covers all the important aspects of Autism and has helped my daughter to see her diagnosis as a positive thing.

    — Parent

  • ‘An empowering read for girls with autism. It captivates the real life essence of what it is like to live with a diagnosis of autism. A great resource to help navigate the challenges that may be experienced. It truly is ‘Affirming’.’

    -Talking Toolbox Speech and Language Therapy

  • Children love the beautiful drawings and clear explanations of overwhelm. The toolkit is such an excellent resource that helps children understand and respond to their needs.
