Description
For young people aged 9 to 16, understanding menstruation can be a daunting experience. This guide, written by autistic author Robyn Steward, aims to demystify periods and provide practical advice on managing hygiene and pain.
Created in consultation with young people and medical professionals, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to periods, including illustrations and step-by-step photos to help with everyday tasks. It also explores alternatives to traditional products, such as period underwear and moon cups, and addresses potential sensory issues for autistic individuals.
