Growing Up Guide for Girls 2nd Edition

Growing up brings lots of changes physically, emotionally, and socially, and autistic girls often appreciate clear information about what to expect. This updated 2nd edition of The Growing Up Guide for Girls is a supportive, neuro‑affirming guide that explains puberty in a straightforward, inclusive and reassuring way. Using straightforwardlanguage and vibrant new illustrations, it covers body changes such as periods, growing body hair, wearing a bra, and looking after your skin. It also explores friendships, boundaries, crushes, online safety, and recognising your own sensory needs. Throughout, it encourages confidence, self‑acceptance and an understanding that every body grows and develops differently and that difference is something to celebrate. Accessible, dyslexia‑friendly and designed with autistic readers in mind, this is the perfect introduction to adolescence for girls aged 9-14.
