A magazine article on autism in girls

TheCatWoman

Is the headline article in the New Scientist magazine this month and I'd really like to read it, but the magazine is nearly £7!, it's not much cheaper to subscribe to an online copy and you have to sign up for a 3 month minimum. I know these things have costs that have gone up recently like everything else, but £7 for one magazine article, could any of you afford that?

  • Thanks for letting us know about New Scientist. 

    Magazines are so expensive now, some more expensive than a paperback book. If you have an account with your library, you might be able to borrow the magazine online.

    Northern Ireland Libraries has an excellent range of magazines and it carries New Scientist. I have just borrowed a copy.

    The book is £17, I might get that instead, our libraries been cut to the bone, they make us wait for 6 months before they will buy a new book, I don't think they let us borrow magazines, but I will check tomorrow.

    Is the book called "The lost girls of autism" ? If so, you can buy a kindle version for £11.99

    I went to our library today, they didn't have the magazine or the book, they didn't even have the book on thier system, it hasn't been out long enough yet.

    I sort of feel iffy about buying more books on Kindle, I can't get a good look at any graphs or maps or anything because they won't enlarge. I think kindle have changed the terms and books you think you've bought may disapear or if you change device you maynot get the ones you had on your old kindle on the new one. WHich seems to me to be a bit of a con.

    Thanks Mrs Snooks, but I wouldn't know where to begin with a webinar, I'm not even sure what one is if I'm honest, is it an online seminar or lecture?
