Recognizing Autism in Women and Girls - Opening Doors to Success

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh

Sinossi

Autism has long been considered a boys' condition, but there is more to this story. The truth is, autism looks different in women and girls. They're much better at "pretending to be normal" by masking their autistic characteristics. How can we look behind the mask to recognize autism, when it has been so well camouflaged? Recognizing Autism in Women and Girls: When It Has Been Hidden Well provides the perspective needed to see how autism manifests in gendered ways, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis. In addition to describing each point in the diagnostic manual to include feminine presentations, Dr. Marsh has created “Five Fictional Female Figures” who've been misdiagnosed because they also display symptoms of other similar conditions. She describes their behaviors, both obvious and hidden, from early childhood to adulthood, and demonstrates how these behaviors meet diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder. The "Behind the Mask" section provides helpful questions to ask during the autism assessment process to allow the professional to recognize autism, even when it has been successfully masked. In addition, each chapter contains "In Her Own Words," written by autistic women who describe their personal journeys from masking to diagnosis, and what it means to them. Being recognized at last for who they truly are frees autistic women to stop hiding behind a mask and begin opening doors to success.

Doctors at War - The Clandestine...

Ellen Hampton

Doctors at War tells the stories of physicians in France working to impede the German war effort and undermine French collaborators during the Occupation from 1940 to 1945. Determined to defeat the Third Reich's incursion, one group of prominent Paris doctors founded a medical network to treat injured Resistance fighters who they then secretly transported to Allied countries to avoid forced labor in Germany. Another team of medics organized a cabal focused on intelligence gathering and sabotage that became one of the largest in wartime France, even after the Gestapo arrested and imprisoned its leaders. Deported to concentration camps, these physicians continued to frustrate Nazi efforts by rendering aid and keeping their fellow prisoners alive. Others joined rural guerrilla camps to care for the young conscripts fighting to block German reinforcements from reaching Normandy after the D-Day landing. 
 
 
 
These stories add a crucial dimension to the history of Occupied France. Written for both historians and general listeners of World War II history, Doctors at War stands as a dramatic, character-driven account of physicians' courage and resilience in the face of evil. It serves as a window into life under a fascist regime and the travails of doctors who negotiated the terrifying moral labyrinth that was the German military's occupation of France.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"I’m Thinking of Ending Things" by Iain Reid is a psychological thriller that explores the complex nature of relationships and identity. The story follows an unnamed woman as she travels with her boyfriend, Jake, to his parents' farm while she is contemplating ending their relationship. As the story progresses, the narrator's thoughts become more fragmented, and she begins to question her perception of reality. The narrative explores themes of isolation, loneliness, and the unreliability of memory, as the lines between what is real and imagined become increasingly blurred. The story's tension builds as the narrator begins to suspect that Jake is not who he seems, and she becomes increasingly fearful as the story moves toward the unsettling climax. The narrative examines how thoughts and perceptions shape reality, and the dark consequences of isolation and an individual's inner turmoil.
