Growing up brings lots of changes physically, emotionally, and socially, and autistic girls often appreciate clear information about what to expect. This updated 2nd edition of The Growing Up Guide for Girls is a supportive, neuroaffirming guide that explains puberty in a straightforward, inclusive and reassuring way. Throughout, it encourages confidence, selfacceptance and an understanding that every body grows and develops differently and that difference is something to celebrate. Using straightforward language and vibrant new illustrations, it covers body changes such as periods, growing body hair, wearing a bra, and looking after your skin. It also explores friendships, boundaries, crushes, online safety, recognising your own sensory needs, and introduces key ideas around feminism and selfadvocacy to help girls understand their rights, their voice, and their place in the world. Accessible, dyslexiafriendly and designed with autistic readers in mind, this is the perfect introduction to adolescence for girls aged 9-14.
