Description

Written by autistic author Robyn Steward, this is a detailed guide for young people aged 9 to 16 on the basics of menstruation. Created in consultation with young people, an online survey and a group of medical professionals, this is a book that teaches all people about periods, which can be a scary and overwhelming issue.

Promoting the fact that everyone either has periods or knows someone who does, the book reduces the anxiety girls face in asking for help. It offers direct advice on what periods look and feel like and how to manage hygiene and pain. It also breaks up information using flaps and step-by-step photos of how to change pads and tampons, it discusses alternatives to tampons and pads, and gives information about possible sensory issues for people with autism.

Editorial Reviews

As an autistic healthcare professional, I highly recommend THE AUTISM-FRIENDLY GUIDE to PERIODS. Robyn Steward has done a spectacular job of writing this extremely necessary book for all young females on the autism spectrum. All aspects of this natural process are well covered. While this topic may be squeamish to some, it must be addressed. Kudos to Steward for this book which will help young autustic girls understand their periods and everything they need to know to best cope and care for themselves.--Anita Lesko, BSN, RN, MS, CRNA, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, author of THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO AUTISM & HEALTH CARE
