Beyond being very basic, this book is written with a very limited perspective. Autism is a spectrum disorder, and teenage girls on the spectrum will be on various levels of this spectrum. Even girls with autism who are similar in functioning levels will have different triggers, and different ways of best responding to situations. The entire book is formatted like this: Your autistic daughter (not even the more PC terminology of your daughter with autism) will be a visual learner most likely (makes a statement and then there is always a word that says even though I am making a broad statement I am not really talking about everyone) will need to have a visual schedule in order to understand transitions (which leaves one solution for a very broad and diverse issue). There are other times that the information in the book is just wrong. The entire section on IEPs and 504s is concerning. It basically says to let your child's teacher advocate for what your child needs - and they are required to pick them up and drop them off at school. Since teachers are employed by the school district, and the school district wants to save money, having even the best teacher be the advocate is concerning. An IEP group should be a team - but the parent should be a major table at the table. That and school districts are not required to provide transportation just because a child has an IEP.
