 "Never be ashamed of being different: it is this difference that makes you extraordinary and unique."

This essential go-to guide gives you all the advice and tools you'll need to help you flourish and achieve what you want in life. From the answers to everyday questions such as 'Am I using appropriate body language?' and 'Did I say the wrong thing?', through to discussing the importance of understanding your emotions, looking after your physical and mental health and coping with anxiety and sensory overloads, award-winning neurodiversity campaigner Siena Castellon uses her own experiences to provide you with the skills to overcome any challenge.

With practical tips on friendships, dating, body image, consent and appearance, as well as how to survive school and bullying, The Spectrum Girl's Survival Guide gives you the power to embrace who you are, reminding you that even during the toughest of teen moments, you are never alone.

My 10 year has just had a diagnosis of Autism. I was looking for some information that would be useful to her, to use in her every day life but also for me to help understand some of the struggles past & future. some chapters in this book my daughter is not ready for & I have told her as such but I will revisit them with her when I feel the time is right.

very informative!

Very helpful self help guide for all. As a parent of an autistic teen would have been great to read years ago. Does cover themes of self harm, suicide, sexual identity & more. Would recommend read by parents first to ensure they are prepared for any questions this may raise from your teen.

Great for teens, parents & educators

Wish we had this book 6 years ago.
It could have saved us an awful lot of heart ache, both mental & physical pain. Totally recommend to parents, grandparents, teachers siblings and most importantly teenage autistic girls - this truly is already and will be a saviour for many more girls and their families- Thank You Siena ❤️🙏🏻❤️
