Review by Library Journal Review

Willey (senior editor, Autism Spectrum Quarterly) uses research and personal experience as a sufferer of Asperger's syndrome to help "Aspie" women meet the challenges of travel, social awareness, and general life management. She talks about how Aspie women are wired, how they can be manipulated, and how they often feel disconnected. Willey shares the challenges of taking on life and resisting the urge to run away. She offers practical suggestions on picking friends wisely, staying safely in hotels, expanding diets, and more. This is essential reading for women with Asperger's syndrome, their families, and the professionals who work with them. (c) Copyright 2011.
