Review of "Girls Growing Up on the Autism Spectrum" in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders by Kathleen Koenig

I am pleased to share that our book "Girls Growing Up on the Autism Spectrum....." has recently been reviewed by Kathleen Koenig, Ph.D. of Yale School of Medicine in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.

In writing this book, we were hopeful that it would help parents of an underserved and less recognized group of individuals with ASDs - girls (and women)! Kathleen's review recognizes a further contribution to the field - a meaningful conceptual book that can inform not only treatment approaches but next steps in research.

We are grateful to Kathleen, and humbled by her positive review...

Thank you!

Has anyone read More Than a Mom? Would love to hear your feedback. I think it is a wonderful book and I recommend it to many of the mothers with whom I work.
