<b>'A truly fascinating must-read' - Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of <i>Unwell Women</i><br/>Winner of the Popular Science Award from the British Psychological Society<br/>A Book of the Year in the <i>Daily Telegraph </i>and <i>New Scientist</i></b><br/><br/><b>The history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.</b><br/><br/>For decades, our understanding of autism has been based on stereotypes of 'socially awkward' men and boys. But this isn't because autism doesn't 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.<br/><br/>In <i>The Lost Girls of Autism</i>, 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.

<b>DELUXE EDITION WITH SPRAYED + STENCILED EDGES, SPOT GLOSS AND GOLD FOIL.</b><br/><br/><b>In this hilarious gay fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together. Funny, touching and inventive, this brilliant debut is perfect for fans of <i>How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying</i> and <i>Dreadful</i>.</b><br/><br/>All his life, Sir Cameron has stayed as far away from danger as possible. He is, quite frankly, too handsome to die a pointless death in battle. But then the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights predicting that the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Cameron. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to survive: the mad sorcerer.<br/><br/>Merulo isn't thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but fate has tied them together. And transmogrifying Cameron into a vulture is at least highly entertaining. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he's really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew?<br/><br/>As a legion of knights surround their stronghold, the sorcerer's poisonous ambitions draw ever closer to fruition. Cameron is quite invested in not dying, but he finds he's also invested in Merulo. And sometimes, supporting the sorcerer you care about means taking an interest in their hobbies. Even if that hobby is trying to kill God.<br/><br/>Even if it might get you killed, too.<br/><br/>Fall in love with this laugh-out loud, genre-bending romp full of concussed elves and queer romance like you've never seen before.
