About the Book
Behind The Mask: A Guide for Professionals Working with Females on the Autism Spectrum (2016) This book shares the common narrative themes drawn from a large group of females, all with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC), who discuss their thoughts, experiences and feelings from their earliest memories until their present day, a span of many years.
Using a combination of research, autobiographical narratives, clinical and anecdotal observations, Tania Marshall sheds light on an often misunderstood group of females, why they are missed and/or misdiagnosed, the coping strategies and techniques used, how they hide their Autism (including the varying ways this is done), what to look for in an assessment, and what questions to ask. She discusses the kinds of environmental accommodations, helpful therapist characteristics and therapist modifications that are useful in professional practice.
