Camouflage: The Hidden Lives of Autistic Women by Sarah Bargiela
4.0
'Camouflage: The Hidden Lives of Autistic Women' by Dr. Sarah Bargiela with art by Sophie Standing is a book about how autistic women cope.
The book features some interviews with 3 autistic women. The hardest part, it seems, is just coming to a diagnosis. The tools for diagnosing seem to be skewed to men and not women, and women are not believed by their own families. Relationships and dating are difficult because autistic women sometimes feel they have to mimic the behavior of others or act overly permissive.
I like the presentation of this book. The illustrations make it a quick read and help to give the book a nice visual sense. I don't think I ever thought about this study this way, so the information was really interesting.
