Join Sarah Hendrickx, author of Women and Girls on the Autism Spectrum, to talk about her new book: Could I Really Be Autistic? Sarah’s work has been monumental for many women (and their loved ones) who were diagnosed on a scale originally catered to men. Beloved by booksellers, Women and Girls on the Autism Spectrum is a bestseller here at Topping and Company in Bath.

Perhaps a child in your family has been diagnosed as autistic, your therapist has suggested it, or people you know have called you ‘Rain Man’ throughout your life. Whatever the reason, here you are, either seeking to confirm or dispel the idea that you might be autistic.

Written by two experts in autism assessment, this is a pathway for you to explore the likelihood of meeting the diagnostic threshold for autism, while offering advice on possible next steps.

Filling the gap between self-identification and formal diagnosis, this rigorous, accessible guide to diagnosis will give you confidence in taking the next steps on your autism journey.
