- I listened to this interview yesterday on BBC Sounds with the author Holly Smale who was diagnosed at 39. Dr Sarah Lister Brook also explains how differently autistic girls and women present in assessment. Holly’s interview helped me to fill in a few more of my missing blanks, the interview unfortunately does bring school back quite graphically. Well worth a listen though . Holly has now published a series of 6 Geek Girl books, She had never realised that the main character in her books is autistic and that she is. I won’t spoil the end of the interview but it’s brilliant.
