Verdict: This book addresses the needs of girls on the autistic spectrum and would be a useful tool for the parenting collections of public libraries with autism collections. Background: Three expert authors collaborate in this guide to supporting adolescent girls on the autistic spectrum. Nichols (clinical director, Fay J. Lindner Ctr. for Autism & Developmental Disorders), speech and language pathologist Moravcik, and applied behavioral specialist Tetenbaum address a variety of topics: rates of diagnosis and diagnostic implications of sex differences; approaching adolescence (including a teaching toolkit); puberty, self-perception, and self-confidence; friendships; healthy sexuality; and personal safety. An extensive list of resources follows each chapter.-Elizabeth Safford, Nevins Memorial Lib., Methuen, MA
