Críticas

I Am AspienGirl(R) was a rich and unique contribution to this literature, and I am thrilled to say that I Am AspienWoman is equally creative and inspiring. As with her prior book, Tania's latest offering has not surprisingly leaped onto my recommended reading list. Shana Nichols, PhD - Director, ASPIRE Center for Learning and Development This sequel to her first book Aspiengirl will have a wide appeal to those women who are or suspect they may be on the Autism spectrum, families and professionals in many fields such as employment, education, health and social support. Richard Mills - Director, Research Autism, London Once again, Tania has provided a visual conversation starter. Featuring individual profiles of successful Autistic women along with quotes from individuals and family members, this book will help to further increase the understanding that women with Autism are out there - even if they are hard to spot. Sarah Hendrickx - Author of Women and Girls with ASD
