The Growing Up Guide for Girls is a one-stop guide for young girls on the autism spectrum explaining all they need to know about puberty and adolescence. The pre-teen and teenage years are a bumpy time when bodies change, emotions are high and peers are developing at different paces. Using simple, literal language and delightful colour illustrations, this book explains the facts about body changes such as growing hair in new places, periods, wearing a bra and keeping spots away! It gives cool tips on what makes a real friend, what it means to have a crush on somebody, and how to stay safe online. Most importantly, it explains that every body is beautiful and unique and encourages young girls with autism to celebrate difference! Perfect preparation for the teenage years for girls aged 9-14. Review: Perfect for girls on the spectrum - This book was perfect for my daughter. She is 11 and was so engaged in the book. I love how it brings up hard topics such as the internet. Review: I feel prepared to talk with my daughter. - Fantastically written for girls and parents! Very straightforward and leaves out the fluff. I did make some changes (pictured). There's more than one choice, they shouldn't be left out. My daughter has learned about orientation and, in her case, I'd prefer it's reflected.

I feel prepared to talk with my daughter.
Fantastically written for girls and parents! Very straightforward and leaves out the fluff. I did make some changes (pictured). There's more than one choice, they shouldn't be left out. My daughter has learned about orientation and, in her case, I'd prefer it's reflected.

BEST purchase for my daughter!
I have an almost-9-year-old daughter that is on the spectrum and this book was PERFECT. Could not have found a better book, which plainly discussed growing up topics for girls. It also talked about the internet (safety), how to be a good friend, what autism is, and to LOVE YOURSELF! Highly recommend this book to ANY girl, not just girls with autism.

Really impressed
Davida Hartman has done a great job covering this sensitive and challenging area in a young girl's life on the autism spectrum. I had a few smiles too. It's well written and appropriately done - covering the right amount of information and protecting our loved children who are extra vulnerable. Thanks Davida and the illustrater!
