"Thank you so much for your site! My daughter and I have Asperger’s (etc!) and it is impossible to find people who understand about women on the spectrum. Except of course for Tony Attwood who gets it perfectly! There are not many people at all (including my hubby, friends etc) that get the daily torment that having AS brings. The confusion, frustration, emptiness and self loathing. And the sad part is there are very few people who are willing to do anything about it. It’s like we are just annoying nothings that are barely tolerated even by the spectrum community. We are too ‘normal’ for them but not ‘normal’ enough for the mainstream community. I’m not sure where that leaves us, but it’s not a nice place." --Natalie, Australia

I am the author of:
Aspergirls: Empowering Females with Asperger Syndrome

Winner of the 2010 Independent Publishers Gold Medal!!
Foreword by Liane Holiday Willey


"Aspergirls is an extraordinary read. It is an affirmation of the movement towards understanding AS in females and a celebration of the culture of AS womanhood.  Simone writes with passion, honesty and truth – sharing both the challenges and the joys of a woman’s life on the spectrum through her own observations and the voices of other women.  Importantly, Aspergirls is also for parents, partners, family, clinicians and educators. It is rich with stories and strategies to be read and re-read as reminders, mantras and as a map for embarking on the journey of being a woman with AS. Above all, this is a much-needed book about permission, empowerment, and as Simone so eloquently states, moving beyond the mutism."

22 Things a Woman Must Know If She Loves a Man with Asperger’s Syndrome
 
"22 Things is excellent"--Tony Attwood


If you love an Aspie, you owe it to yourself to read this book, whether the Aspie you love was diagnosed years ago, recently, or has yet to be diagnosed. Every word in it rings true, and is useful. The author is clinically precise in her descriptions of the drawbacks and advantages of loving a man who is also an Aspie, wonderfully complex and maddening at the same time. She also gives good advice about taking care of your own needs, which you must do, as it is essential to take care of yourself when the the maddening aspects occur (and they will). I wish I had read it years ago." (from the book's reader reviews on Amazon)



Coming March 2012

From the foreword by
Professor Tony Attwood:
"While we have considerable literature to help couples where a male partner has the characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome, this is the first book to describe, explore and provide hope and practical advice for a relationship where a woman has these characteristics. Rudy Simone boldly goes where no author has gone before with insight and enterprise. This book will revive and rescue relationships."
The FOOL - Part I: Orsath the Singer

Rudy Simone's first fantasy novel, The Fool, is loosely based on the archetypes of the tarot, but even more importantly the subtext of the book is the Aspergian nature of its main protagonist, Orsath le Folieux. Orsath is a young man who doesn't fit in to his world and who spends his whole life trying to find out who he is and where he belongs. It takes many years, and many magical adventures to do so. This book (Orsath the Singer) is part one of three. 156 pages of adventure, magic, music and musings from a hero that is no Harry Potter. He often gets things wrong and he often goes it alone, except for the steadfast companionship of his Dog.

"This is one of the BEST books I have read! Rudy Simone is an AWESOME writer. She was able to incorporate real life examples of how people who are different are thought of and treated, into a world of magic. This is a wonderful book and I can't wait for the next one!"--Lindsey, a teen artist with Asperger Syndrome
