I loved the way differences between autistic men and women are presented through infographics, case studies and stories. The book illustrates in a very accessible manner what exactly restricted social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviours, sensory sensitivities and eccentric, special interests are. We get a brief overview of what autism is, the prevalence of low and high-functioning autism in men and women (it is also explained why terms 'low and high- functioning autism' may be unhelpful) and the reasons why fewer women are diagnosed with autism. The book is well-researched, informative and beautifully-illustrated. ‘Camouflage: the hidden lives of autistic women’ is a great introduction into autistic disorder spectrum in women. Thank you for 'passing it on' and caring so passionately about teaching. A huge thank you to Amalia Gaveawhose beautiful review of this book made me add it to my shelf.
