“Elephant’s Kitchen – An Aspergirl’s Study in Difference”

“This book is needed because of the subtle difference between the genders on the spectrum, but also to address the differences between an Aspergirl and a non-spectrum female, otherwise known as an NT or neurotypical girl.”

“Like many Aspergirls in particular, I was (and am) hyperlexic: that is, I read vastly more quickly than others, absorb what I am reading, and learned to read overnight without tutelage.”

“Girls are usually much more socially conscious than boys are, and, when in groups, an “Aspergirl” (as girls with Asperger’s are sometimes known) is much more likely to be protected or disguised by the other members of their group.”

“My (Martine) personal experiences as a high-functioning Aspergirl, in teaching the piano to autistic children and in researching autism, have ignited in me a wish to critique current views of autism as a condition that renders the autistic as being more or less than human - the first in the case of extraordinary rational and musical abilities, the second in the case of a seemingly defective intelligence and supposedly impaired social abilities.”
