A truly fascinating must-read Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell WomenWinner of the Popular Science Award from the British Psychological SocietyA Book of the Year in the Daily Telegraph and New ScientistThe history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.For decades, our understanding of autism has been based on stereotypes of socially awkward men and boys. But this isnt because autism doesnt affect women; it is because the system built to identify it has completely failed them. This blind spot has left generations of women and girls misunderstood and misdiagnosed.In The Lost Girls of Autism, leading neuroscientist Gina Rippon challenges this biased view of autism and explores the female autistic experience. She reveals how girls on the spectrum learn to hide in plain sight by camouflaging to fit in. Drawing on decades of research and powerful first-person accounts, Rippon shows how the female autistic brain is differently different and urges us to give these lost girls their rightful place on the spectrum.

Using the latest cutting-edge neuroscience, Gina Rippon unpacks the stereotypes that bombard us from our earliest moments and shows how these messages mould our ideas of ourselves and even shape our brains. Rigorous, timely and liberating, The Gendered Brain has huge repercussions for women and men, for parents and children, and for how we identify ourselves.Highly accessible Revolutionary to a glorious degree Observer

¿Entiende los mapas o interpreta las emociones? ¿Barbie o Lego? ¿Tiene un cerebro femenino o un cerebro masculino? ¿O esta es la pregunta equivocada? Vivimos en un mundo dividido en función del género, en el que constantemente recibimos mensajes sobre los dos sexos. Nos enfrentamos a diario a convicciones muy arraigadas de que nuestro genero determina las aptitudes y las preferencias, desde los juguetes y los colores hasta los estudios y los salarios. Pero ¿que significa todo esto para nuestras decisiones y nuestro comportamiento? ¿Y para nuestros cerebros? Basandose en su trabajo como catedratica de Neuroimagen Cognitiva, Gina Rippon desentraña los estereotipos que nos bombardean desde nuestros primeros dias de vida y demuestra como esos mensajes moldean la idea que tenemos de nosotros mismos e incluso de nuestros cerebros. Con su exploracion de la mas vanguardista neurociencia, Rippon nos exhorta a superar una vision binaria de nuestros cerebros y a verlos como unos organos complejos, muy individualizados, profundamente adaptables y llenos de un potencial ilimitado. Riguroso, oportuno y liberador, El genero y nuestros cerebros tiene inmensas repercusiones para mujeres y hombres, padres e hijos, y para nuestra forma de identificarnos
