Aspergirls: Empowering Females with Asperger Syndrome | Rudy Simone

pan

PROS
1. She conducted interviews with people who have autism to give a broader perspective. As long as your perspective/exercise is found somewhere in there even partially you‘re good to go.
2. A not too bad discussion on situational mutism.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics CONS
1. Is upset that Asperger‘s Syndrome has been folded into ASD, because it doesn‘t fit her narrative, even though part of that narrative is acknowledging that people forget Asperger‘s is autism. Sorry not sorry your cutesy name based on eugenics and racism went in the bin.
2. The author is a kook who has since claimed to have cured her “Asperger‘s” (ASD) through diet. 1y

GingerAntics 3. This is an eating disorder nightmare. Especially seeing that ASD women are far more likely to have an eating disorder than the general population, her advice to put young children on highly restrictive diets that science has proven do nothing for ASD, is dangerous at best and deadly at worst. (edited) 1y

GingerAntics Is the answer to ASD really to keep your child away from birthday cake if they like it? Then again, she‘s all about the pseudoscience of sugar is as addictive as crack, so clearly not the best source.
4. Big fan of the power of manifestation, so if reality is your jam, this is not for you. She also believes ASD girls/woman are psychic. 1y

See All 27 Comments

GingerAntics 5. Starts with a long discussion on precocious intelligence often found in girls with autism (her aspergirls) going on for quite some time about their higher reasoning skills and complex ways of thinking, but then concludes her book by saying that ASD girls cannot understand complex reasoning. Um, which is it? Talk about insulting. She destroyed her own thesis in a single sentence. (edited) 1y

GingerAntics 6. If you‘re not into the Christian narrative on people who are different, this is a hard pass. Including gender normative cliches. Pass.
7. Assumes all ASD girls/women have the same learning styles.
8. If you or someone you love has just been diagnosed with ASD, do NOT start here. In fact, never ever go here. There are much better options. 1y

GingerAntics 9. What are her credentials. She talks about having gone to college, but what did she study? Did she study psychology? Neurology? Art history? Manifestation, the universe, and you? Nothing? No one knows and she‘s not saying (which is telling enough). 1y

marleed Hard pass! 1y

GingerAntics @marleed good choice! 1y

marleed @GingerAntics Thanks for saving my blood from boiling! 1y

GingerAntics @marleed you are more than welcome! My blood was boiling enough for the both of us! 1y

Texreader Yikes!!! I‘m impressed you powered through it but I think you‘ve done a public service especially if you post this review everywhere you can. 1y

julesG Thanks! Will definitely steer clear. 1y

ravenlee Um, if females with ASD are psychic and so amazing, in her mind, why would she want to “cure” it? 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader lol I will admit to skimming the final few chapters. I posted it on Apple Books and here, but I honestly feel like I need to post it other places, too. 1y

GingerAntics @ravenlee EXACTLY?! This from the same mind that admits ASD is neurological, not psychological, but then turns around and says it‘s caused by leaky gut. 🙄 When are people going to figure out that if your digestive tract is leaking into the rest of your body, that‘s an emergent situation, not a “take probiotics and avoid gluten” situation? 1y

GingerAntics @julesG good idea! 1y

ravenlee 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1y

Texreader @ravenlee 👍🏻😁 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader I just added my review to Amazon, but considering their algorithm, I‘m not sure what good it will do. 1y

Texreader @GingerAntics I read Amazon reviews so yours may save someone 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader I do, too, but that one has SO many 5 star reviews it‘s terrifying. 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader well, Amazon is censoring my review, claiming it has at least one of the following: “Profanity
Harassment
Hate speech
Sexual content
Illegal activity
Private information” 🙄 1y

Texreader @GingerAntics OMG!! What‘s the use of reviews!! I got flagged once. Not sure why but I think the author probably flagged it because it was so negative. 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader yup! I wonder if authors are basically rigging their amazon reviews. 1y

Texreader @GingerAntics Yea I think that‘s possible. I think it‘s so easy to “flag” a review and you know Amazon doesn‘t have enough people to see if the flag is legit. I tried responding to it and it was a black hole. 1y

GingerAntics @Texreader why does this not surprise me about amazon? 1y

Morr_Books So I haven't seen the movie in years. Is that what the fiancé looks like in the movie version? #ewwww 1y

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books this is what came up when I googled him, so I guess so! 1y

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I just checked IMDb and this is the Cecil in the HBC version 1y

Ruthiella @Morr_Books That‘s him! Daniel Day Lewis. He played the prig Cecil Vyse to perfection. 😃 1y

Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead I'm guessing whoever did the casting for that production felt the same way some of us did about not wanting any of that Cecil character. 1y

Morr_Books @Ruthiella That is Daniel Day Lewis???!!! 🤯 1y

TheBookHippie 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 1y

mcctrish I seriously thought I‘d screwed up my kindle 😡 #whereisgeorge #freddyisawesome #morefreddynocecil #whatthehellislucythinking 1y

Bklover I thought I was reading the wrong book. Or the wrong chapter. The whole chapter was just wrong wrong wrong. We are supposed to be in Rome and George is supposed to be finding her and sweeping her away!!! And what rock did Cecil crawl out from under 🪨 (edited) 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover yes! I was so confused, I kept expecting them to switch back to Rome. WTF?!?! 1y

Bklover @BarkingMadRead I hope your daughter knows how much fun we have here! (edited) 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover she‘s actually on Litsy, although she rarely posts! @Princess.ofthe.pages 1y

Ruthiella @Morr_Books As my sister says, “Daniel Day Lewis could put on a hoop skirt and play Scarlett O‘Hara convincingly.” 🤣 1y

Bklover Went to follow her and I already do! 1y

Bookwormjillk This chapter was so abrupt. I feel like Rome stolen from us 🤣 1y

Cuilin #lovefreddy played by a very young and beautiful Robert Graves 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Lucy thinks she can but I really hope she doesn‘t actually! I was annoyed with George last chapter but now I really, really want him to come back. Also… I‘m so confused 😭 #whydidtheyskipaheadsomuch indeed! 1y

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish I‘m with you! #morefreddynocecil Any book character who leaves bones lying around on the nice furniture is my kind of book character 😂😂😂 1y

Clare-Dragonfly Also… when Mr. Beebe said Cecil was an “ideal bachelor” like him I so wanted him to mean that they are both gay. But in Cecil‘s case I think he just means that he sucks. But Mr. Beebe doesn‘t suck, so it‘s still unclear. 1y

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s exactly how I interpreted ‘ideal bachelor‘ 1y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish - in the context of also talking about how he was like a Gothic statue “which implies celibacy, just as a Greek statue implies fruition“ - I think it may be more that at the time even more than now, marriage also meant fatherhood, family, responsibility - men were the sole charge of the household finances and major decisions. For different reasons, neither Cecil nor Beebe is particularly the type to take on that burden. 1y

dabbe @Ruthiella The same DDL who was a stud in THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS? #wtf? (excuse my French). 😀🤣🤩 1y

julieclair I‘m listening on audio and seriously thought a large chunk of the book had been left out! #whathappenedtorome #whathappenedINrome #ditchcecil 1y
