The Spectrum Girl's Survival Guide: How to Grow Up Awesome and Autistic by Siena Castellon
3.0
I requested Siena Castellon's book for two reasons. First, because I gained a student in the fall who has behaviors similar to those with Autism (her mother will not accept the diagnosis currently), and secondly, because I have felt, for several years now, that I am on the spectrum. "The Spectrum Girl's Survival Guide" gave insight to the author's struggles with being on the spectrum and suggestions to those who face similar difficulties.
While I felt that many of her suggestions-especially in regards to speaking to staff at school-were excellent, the book was a bit narrowly focused on what she experienced. I recognize that it might be difficult, as girls are underdiagnosed, to find others for collaboration, but I feel that some other points of view would have enriched the book.
