The Quirky Girls Club

Autor Chris Wever
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iun 2023
A book for high school girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder. ¿ The Quirky Girls Club is a book about three girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder who struggle in their transition to high school and about the support they give each other. Though they do struggle with the changing world of being a teenager, they use their strengths and friendship to flourish. Autism Spectrum Disorder in girls is different and often more subtle than in boys. As such it is often missed in primary school and not recognised or diagnosed until the transition to high school. At this stage, the social world of girls gets more complicated, and ASD girls struggle with group dynamics, changing social rules, dating, and schoolwork. They struggle with the demands of complex social rules, the more challenging academic work, and increasing demands on them to organise themselves in the transition to becoming young adults. In my experience as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I am always heartened by the good outcome of teenagers with ASD. They find their niche, find their tribe, and use their superpowers to be successful as young adults.

Notă biografică

The Author Chris Wever is a consultant child psychiatrist who works in private practice in Queensland Australia. He has a special interest in autistic spectrum problems, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety disorders in children. These difficulties often create great problems in a child's life and upset the wellbeing of the child's family. The trouble they can cause is often underestimated. The books that Chris writes are based on the scientific evidence about each psychiatric issue and well tested clinical treatment programs that he and others have developed. Chris has published detailed treatment guidelines for general practitioners in the national medical magazine, "Australian Doctor". Chris has also written chapters for text books on child psychiatry and he frequently speaks at conferences for clinicians and educators. Chris' straightforward and accurate way of talking about childhood mental health problems is an essential part of his effective and humane clinical practice and this approach is evident in his books.
