Girls and Autism and American Girl Magazine

The majority of information about autism is about boys. One in four individuals is male, so more is written about them. I am always tickled to find an article about girls on the spectrum.

FYI: The current (Jan/Feb 2011) issue of American Girl magazine features a story about a 9-year-old young lady on the autism spectrum. The young lady's name is Gina. The story is called, "Finding Her Voice". A video of Gina singing is here. We subscribe to the magazine. I have seen it on magazine stands in the warehouse club. I assume it is available at book stores or your local library if you're interested in reading the article.
