This is not a book on men with autism but on the secrecy and complexity of the world of autistic women. The difficulty of social interactions and the importance of interests in the life of these women.
Developed around three interviews of women diagnosed with autism, we are introduced to the notions of restricted interests, repetitive behaviours, and sensitivities. In my opinion, this is one more indicator of the subconscious, powerful influence of social norms on the sexes. Women hide, camouflage autism by resorting to social mimicry skills. Bagiela stresses the differences between women diagnosed with autism and men who face the same situation and presents a number of extremely interesting conclusions. An excellent choice for the title of the booklet, in my opinion. Sarah Bagiela has developed a concise booklet on the ways autism can be diagnosed and its influence on various aspects of daily life. However, it is of special importance to the rest of us. So, this is not reading material for these ‘’teachers’’. Psychology and research mean very little to them. Unfortunately, there’s always a significant number of teachers who consider teaching a chore that they must carry out and be done with it. At least that would happen in an ideal world. We didn’t choose this profession to kill time, we chose to be teachers out of love for children and the need to offer. Apart from the actual teaching of a specific subject, we must support our students, we must care for them and their problems and do everything within our means to help them. Studying any material related to autism should be mandatory for all teachers.
