Nora and Her Body:
A Guide to Puberty and Periods For Girls With Neurodivergence and Strong Girls Everywhere
BySusan I. Kaufman, DO, FACOGJessica Sophie Chang Horoschak, DO
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Discussing puberty, bodily changes, periods, and hygiene can be challenging for many parents. Addressing these topics with teens who have neurodivergences can add another layer of complexity. This book equips parents with a helpful tool to introduce these subjects to their daughters, normalize puberty and menstruation, help teens understand the changes they are experiencing, and emphasize self-care.
Nora, our protagonist, who is on the autism spectrum, shares her journey through puberty, offering a positive perspective on the process. The book breaks down the information to foster understanding and uses illustrations to enhance the dialogue.
The book also includes an information section for parents, a statement from a parent with 3 daughters with autism, and additional resources.
This project addresses a longstanding need among patients and their parents, navigating the challenges of puberty and menstruation.
