Good evening! I have an 8 year old girl with autism in my class and she asked me if there are any good story books with a female main character with autism and I was a bit stumped! Does anyone have some good recommendations for her so she can feel represented in her stories? TIA

– The younger of the two siblings in [the Lemonade War](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/08744588-0a15-49f9-ae3f-fe5b9e3dac23) books by Jacqueline Davies is a girl who, while not explicitly autistic, is almost certainly neurodivergent
Most of the books I know of with autistic girl protagonists are a little older than your kiddo (~11 years old), but I’ll list a couple of them in case they’d still appeal to her:
– [A Kind of Spark](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/82685465-9472-4b5f-9f53-9895c1bb957f) by Elle McNicoll
