Seriously?! I mean ... SERIOUSLY!?! Okay, lets calm down and see how I can make this rage coherent.
Firstly, guess who is woefully underrepresented in this volume? Exactly. Actual girls with Asperger's. What do you get instead? A bunch of people that are more or less "experts" at something or other that is supposedly relevant to the discussion. These "experts" dish out lots of not so helpful and quite often rather harmful advise - not to actual girls with Asperger's, mind you, but to the ever popular primary caregivers and teachers. And as an extra bonus most of them do this the most insulting and condescending way possible. Contemplating the harm that could be done if someone actually followed some of that god-awful advise ... the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let's leave it at that. There are really only two notable exceptions one might want to check out (before doing the appropriate thing to do with something like this ...). Those are the articles by Tony Attwood and Jennifer McIlwee Myers.
