This book is the result of a long process, the conception of which began mentally before my PhD, and its realization took place during it, thanks to my encounter with UGA Editions, which gave me the impetus to bring this project to fruition.

In this peer-reviewed book (for a French speaking audience), I introduce a social, epistemological, and historical perspective, while providing an overview of psychological and neuroscience research on autism in females. I also reflect on the challenges and complexities of autism diagnosis. Expert insights and testimonies from autistic females are interwoven with clinical views and the latest scientific findings.

I was delighted to be invited to contribute to the new edition of this French book by writing a chapter on participatory research in autism. In this chapter, I trace the historical development of participatory research and how it has evolved in the field of autism. I also highlight a French examples, though still too few, and discuss the challenges that remain to be addressed.

I was thrilled to receive an invitation from my colleague Agnieszka Rynkiewicz to contribute to this book published in Polish. My contribution focuses on the first section, which includes a description of autism in females.

I felt so grateful to have been invited by France Inter, the most famous French National Radio. It was a great opportunity to raise awareness on autism in females.
