Book ID/图书代码： 06930015B83548

English Summary/英文概要： Lizzie is an Aspie Girl - she has Asperger’s Syndrome, which means that her brain works differently to her friends, and even to boys with Asperger Syndrome. In this book, Lizzie explains what it’s like to be an Aspie Girl, including how she has a special talent for blending in with her friends, how she gets really tired after being at school all day, how she worries about making mistakes, and how she finds it hard to understand how she is feeling. By simply, clearly and positively explaining the social differences associated with Asperger’s Syndrome, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, in young girls, this book will help Aspie Girls aged approximately 5 to 11 years to understand their diagnosis, recognise their unique strengths and celebrate their differences, and find ways of coping with difficulties. This positive and celebratory book also contains helpful discussion points for parents and professionals to explore further with the girls in their care.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 利齐是一个阿斯伯格综合症的女孩，这意味着她的大脑对她的朋友，甚至对患有阿斯伯格综合症的男孩来说都是不同的。在这本书中，利齐解释了做一个阿斯伯格女孩的感觉，包括她如何有与朋友融洽的特殊天赋，她如何在学校里一整天都很累，她如何担心犯错误，以及她如何难以理解自己的感受。通过简单、清晰、积极地解释与阿斯伯格综合症或自闭症谱系障碍相关的社会差异，这本书将帮助大约5至11岁的阿斯伯格女孩理解他们的诊断，认识到他们的独特优势，并庆祝他们的差异，找到应对困难的方法。这本积极和庆祝的书也包含有益的讨论点，供家长和专业人士进一步探讨。（WYL)

Awards/获奖情况：“有时最好的书是最短的书。这本书没有很多页数，但文本简洁明了，清楚准确地描述了自闭症谱系女孩的特点和经历。每一幅插图都是千言万语的，对儿童、青少年和成年人来说都是引人入胜和令人愉快的。我向家长、老师和同事推荐这本短小而有见地的书，作为对女生ASC的一种易读的解释，也推荐给那些需要了解的女生，向她们自己解释她们日常的想法、情绪和经历。”

“来自托尼阿特伍德的前言，头脑和心脏诊所，布里斯班这本敏感和温暖的书，连同深刻的文字和可爱的图画，一定会鼓励同龄人阿斯伯格综合症（AS）的孩子更好地理解，同情，并接受他们的阿斯伯格伙伴。托尼•艾特伍德博士的后记还将帮助本书的成年读者更深入地认识到这一点，从而引导对自闭症进行更有意义的讨论。”——利亚纳•霍利迪•威利《假装正常：患有阿斯伯格综合症》一书的作者

Sometimes the best books are the shortest books. This book does not have many pages but the text is succinct and clearly and accurately describes the characteristics and experiences of girls who have an Autism Spectrum Condition. Each illustration is worth a thousand words and will be perceived as engaging and enjoyable for young children, adolescents and adults. I recommend this short and insightful book to parents, teachers and colleagues as an easy-to-read explanation of ASC in girls, and to the girls themselves to explain their everyday thoughts, emotions and experiences to those who need to know. -- from the foreword by Tony Attwood, Minds and Hearts Clinic, Brisbane This sensitive and warm book, complete with insightful text and lovely drawings will surely encourage the peers of kids with Asperger Syndrome (AS) to better understand, empathize with, and accept their Aspie pals. The afterword by Dr Tony Attwood will additionally help the adult readers of the book come to an even deeper awareness that can then lead the way for more meaningful discussion of ASD. -- Liane Holliday Willey, Author of Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger’s Syndrome
