Off the Spectrum

In Off the Spectrum, cognitive neuroscientist Gina Rippon explores how autism in women has been historically overlooked and misunderstood due to gender-biased research. She highlights the ways autism presents differently in girls and women, often going unnoticed or unrecognized, and emphasizes the importance of inclusive research to better serve autistic women. This insightful book advocates for a scientific shift to address past biases and deepen understanding of autism across genders.
