Chris Rans has been busy these past few months that we have been working together using the Totally Social ASD website helping adult woman from ages 17 all the way up to 57 years old find out they have been misdiagnosed their whole lives and really have Asperger Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism. Chris is able to help not only these women, but heal their families from years of anguish and turmoil over problematic and misunderstood behaviors. In light of all the women that Chris is helping now and those she hopes will continue to seek her assistance through totallysocialasd.com we have chosen Rudy Simone as our Spotlight of the Month. Read on to learn more about Rudy and females on the autism spectrum.
Always striving to make a difference!

"Rudy Simone, a San Francisco singer, writer and stand-up comic, didn’t learn that she was on the autism spectrum until her mid-40s. Simone has Asperger syndrome — a high-functioning form of autism that leads to social problems but no intellectual disabilities — which, like all forms of autism, appear much more commonly in boys than in girls. Ten times more men are believed to reside on the spectrum than women.
But some experts think the real prevalence of Asperger’s in girls may be much higher than believed, because girls tend to be far better than boys at concealing its symptoms, masking social problems and hiding the repetitive behaviors often associated with autism. So, many women go undiagnosed until middle age, along the way given other labels and therapies that do not address their real issues."
