The Lost Girls of Autism

How Science Failed Autistic Women - and the New Research that's Changing the Story

Rippon, Gina
Englisch | Taschenbuch

The history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.<BR><BR>When autistic girls meet clinicians, they are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, or are missed altogether. Autism's 'male spotlight' means we are only now starting to redress this profound injustice.<BR><BR>In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn't bother looking for it in women. But it is now becoming increasingly clear that many autistic women and girls do not fit the traditional, male, model of autism. Instead, they camouflage and mask, hiding their autistic traits to accommodate a society that shuns them.<BR><BR>Urgent and insightful, this is a searching examination of how sexism has biased our understanding of autism. Informed by the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, The Lost Girls of Autism is a clarion call for society to recognize the full spectrum of autistic experience.

The Lost Girls of Autism
Rippon, Gina
'A truly fascinating must-read' - Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell Women<BR>Winner of the Popular Science Award from the British Psychological Society<BR>A Book of the Year in the Daily Telegraph and New Scientist<BR><BR>The history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.<BR><BR>For decades, our understanding of autism has been based on stereotypes of 'socially awkward' men and boys. But this isn't because autism doesn't affect women; it is because the system built to identify it has completely failed them. This blind spot has left generations of women and girls misunderstood and misdiagnosed.<BR><BR>In The Lost Girls of Autism, leading neuroscientist Gina Rippon challenges this biased view of autism and explores the female autistic experience. She reveals how girls on the spectrum learn to 'hide in plain sight' by camouflaging to fit in. Drawing on decades of research and powerful first-person accounts, Rippon shows how the female autistic brain is 'differently different' and urges us to give these lost girls their rightful place on the spectrum.

The Gendered Brain
The Gendered Brain
Rippon, Gina
Barbie or Lego? Reading maps or reading emotions? Do you have a female brain or a male brain? Or is that the wrong question? <BR><BR> On a daily basis we face deeply ingrained beliefs that our sex determines our skills and preferences, from toys and colours to career choice and salaries. But what does this mean for our thoughts, decisions and behaviour? <BR><BR> Using the latest cutting-edge neuroscience, Gina Rippon unpacks the stereotypes that bombard us from our earliest moments and shows how these messages mould our ideas of ourselves and even shape our brains. Rigorous, timely and liberating, The Gendered Brain has huge repercussions for women and men, for parents and children, and for how we identify ourselves.<BR><BR>'Highly accessible... Revolutionary to a glorious degree' Observer
