The Female Profile of Autism

A Guide to Clinical Assessment
A comprehensive guide to the presentation of autism in women for professionals, clinicians and Autistic women themselves. Complete with a clinical assessment questionnaire tailored to support the diagnosis of autism in women and girls, it improves understanding and helps clinicians and individuals work together to achieve the best outcomes.

Autism in women and girls is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. This comprehensive guide offers a clinical definition and clinical criteria for Autism as well as case studies illustrating the autistic female experience.

Written for professionals and autistic women alike, the female profile of autism is demystified and associated subjects including sexuality, relationships, professional life and routes to diagnosis are explored including a lived-experience case study by Annyck Martin. In addition, an assessment questionnaire is provided, tailored specifically to the diagnosis of autism in women. Each question is supported by clinical commentary from Autism experts Tony Attwood, Isabelle Henault, Valentina Pasin and Bruno Wicker to help the reader interpret answers and reach informed conclusions.

By providing extensive oversight of the characteristics common to autism in women, this comprehensive book sets itself out as an essential tool for both self and clinical diagnosis.
