In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored and misunderstood for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women.

From intelligence to emotion, for centuries science has told us that men and women are fundamentally different. But this is not the whole story.

She explores what these revelations mean for us as individuals and as a society, revealing an alternative view of science in which women are included rather than excluded.
